Please note that I said SEE interference.
But Steve's point was to let the primary have first shot; as it is more convincing and less confusing than having both call it. "primary is BU. Call in your area, watch the other area(s). Give your partner the chance to make the call. If partner has a good look, I'm probably going to trust my partner's judgement."
In a game a couple of years ago, a similar play happened, obviously INT, but the relatively new BU signalled OBS as the PU called "dead ball", then INT.
