I do not completely agree with this statement. A lot of times coaches try to suggest "you can help him right." They need to know that it is not in the mechanic and you are not in a position to see what your partner saw (of course within limits). Sometimes the first thing a coach might say to you is about what you are watching and what your partner(s) are watching. I would not go into a detailed dissertation, but you can speak about what you saw and why you did not see something.
