Now, I understand the possibility exists that stubborn person might actually be the referee of the game, but as I said, if he/she is the referee, there will be consequences if they are incorrect. With that said, as the R in a crew, I may screw something up in my game, but it sure as heck won't be a failure to change an error in penalty administration because of an obstinate crew member.

Oh, don't worry, the supervisor/evaluator will take care of it. If the official is that dumb and stubborn, then he's probably done his last game at that level for a while. Meanwhile, jmo but I really don't think that a supervisor/evaluator wants to see his officiating crew having a major argument amongst themselves out on the floor- and holding up the game while they do so. Especially when the calling official is still adamantly insisting that he's got the call right.
I think that you people might be forgetting what this one was all about from the start. You've got an official here that's telling his partner "I don't care what you say. I'm right and you're wrong". Now you aren't gonna change his mind. And I think that you're both gonna look awful stoopid telling the table two completely different things. So, when it gets this bad, you really don't have any choice but to let your partner hang himself.
