The lesson, from what I understand is that F1 believed it was his judgement call and that PU nulified what was to be F1 call.

That wasn't a pro ump. That was a big dog association ump chewing on a smaller dog ump (PU).
The big dog's argument was to just call a ball. If asked by PU, big dog was going to give 'em what he had, making little dog look bad if overturned, because little dog had stated the phrase "no he didn't".
