In my association, too, the big dog will be held responsible, to a point.

In your scenario, if the little dog REFUSED to change his call, our big dogs are not going to wage public open warfare on the field. If the big dog doesn't have the ability or force of personality to convine the little dog to change his call, the little dog will be taken care of off the field.

We are on board with getting calls right, but we do it as per the rules. 9.02(C).

Since you wouldn't answer my question, I will.

No.

If our partner is 100% sure of his call and, even after a consultation, refuses to change it, we will not overrule him on the field.

I will quickly add, and admit, that this is close to a third world scenario, in that I have never have a partner, once I explained the correct call or ruling, refuse to change his call. But, it has happend with a couple of others. The little dogs were appropriately neutered shortly after the game and were last seen hiding under the porch.
