OK, no baiting, just a disagreement. If you are not asked, it's not your call. Stay out of it.
In your example, it is a judgment call, not a rules violation. The BU judged that F3 did not touch first before the runner arrived. If the PU "knows" that F3 did touch it, that isn't a misinterpretation of the rules. Both umps agree with the rule that says if F3 touched the bag first the runner is out; what they may disagree about is whether or not that actually happened.
Suppose you are BU in A, and there is a check swing. The PU calls a ball and does not ask you for help, nor does the defense. But you, the BU in A, "know" that the batter went around. Do you call time and come trotting into the plate to confer with PU about the swing? Of course not! It's not your call unless asked.
Of course we want to get things right. And there are certain situations where we can offer information to our partners. But this isn't one of them.
