Just to clarify

So....if it's not in your primary, you shouldn't have seen it anyway, right?

And if it is in your primary, your partner shouldn't overrule you. But if you realize right away that you blew it, you could stop the proceedings and get a little help, just in case?

So if your partner asks, and you happened to see it, you should give him/her your input? Other than that, save it for a time out or debrief?

I haven't been at this long enough where I would take offense to being overruled by a more experienced official. Maybe someday I would. But even though I might look like a jerk, I'd rather get the call right and learn from the experience.
