Iow, I beg to differ.
Which also begs the obvious follow-up question.....
What would you do if I changed your changed call back to a 3, without conferring with you also, because I was 110% positive that I had it right all along?

Errr...say what?
Either the shooter's foot was on the line or it wasn't. It's black and white, no uncertainty. The rule is clear, either he's on or within the line or he's not. If you come to me to ask "did you see his foot on the line?" what am I going to say? "Of course I did but I'm giving him 3 anyways". Or maybe "No I didn't, and neither did you, you lying sack of sh1t." No need to confer, just fix it and move on.
This differs when you come to me to give help on an OOB.
"Did you see the ball tip off white's hand?"
"Yes I did. Did you then see the ball tip off blue's knee right after that?"
There's far less certainty.
BTW Chuck, on a pass/crash I prefer to let the person who's primary it is stay with the crash and the off-official go with the pass.
