Very clever attempt at a save.
I am familiar with "loose" as a transitive verb, as used here: Attic Greek [luw]. In English it's antiquated and means to "destroy", "undo". It doesn't quite fit here, when the modern meaning of "lose" (as in "not win") is the one intended.

Loose and lose are one of my pet peeves so I noticed it too... but I can’t pass up an attempt at humor. Although my wife would tell you I should more than not.
