I have never understood this "mechanic". WHY should you not want the PU to come to you inside? If you didn't CLEARLY see a swing, you rule: "No, he didn't", right? You are agreeing with the PU, and what's the problem? If, however, your partner somehow gets screened and even from B/C you can clearly see that the batter offered, you "get it right" AND ring up another strike.
Like someone else posted, both of these outcomes are good things.
