I am not playing word games.
You were working a two man crew. Unless you can convince me otherwise, you cannot, that you can seriously think that everything you "see" is correct and your partner could error.
My point is a fact, not "word games", there is no way to define that what you saw was correct.
Therefore there is no overruling of another's judegement calls.

The NFHS mechanics manual comes to me every other year, I see that they STILL have the PU cover third on a bases loaded triple, and I throw it in the trash. Call it my litmus test.
Besides that one play, the manual is lacking in other areas -- this being one of them. It is, without a doubt, the biggest piece of crap I've ever seen. I'm glad to see some states moving from it (actually, I have yet to run into a good umpire that doesn't use PRO or CCA mechanics) officially.
