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.

I do not agree with "No, he didn't go" and I do not teach it. "Ball" is all you need to say. Then when your partner gives you what he has, you do not look bad.
Also, there was a time (and there still is in some associations) where the PU will call "Ball! No, he didn't go!" and the BU had better agree or there would be hell to pay. Thank God that most of us do not use that BS stuff anymore.
