Okay, so I could have stepped into the lane, and said, "He gets his second shot" and then if HE wanted to argue the rule, let HIM huddle. What if he keeps insisting but I know he's wrong? When, and how, do I put my R foot down?

Well, it's best to huddle regardless and get the crew on the same page, ie don't just step in & force it.
If you know you are right then you have to find a way to
convince your partner, whether you are R or not. Either
get him to agree you're right or get him to agree to trust
you. If he continues to argue then of course the R decides.
If the R changes the call/decision based on a rules
misapplication then he goes to the table & coaches to
explain.
