Agreed...

And while this particular example might be extremely egregious ... people need to remember that when you saw something differently from your partner (however egregious) ... your partner saw something different from you. And you stick with the original call in cases like that because 99.9% of the time they had a better look, angle, or distance --- that's why the call in question is THEIR call.
