Are you sure it isn't that difficult? Think about it and tell me again how you can make sure the same official is at lead for these calls.

I don't work any 3-whistle, so I can't answer that part. No it doesn't always work out nicely like that, but sometimes it does. It's not a panacea to totally even out the calling. It's just one more possible way to reduce the number of problems that we can create for ourselves. Sometimes my partner and I can agree, sometimes the same person can be in place to call the same thing at both ends.
Occasionally, we have a problem when each partner refuses to adjust their calls. When that happens, and I think that's what the question in the oP was about, I try to adjust a little, and I try to make it so that one of us is getting the same calls at both ends. It's not the final answer, but it's one more tool.
The tone of your responses seems a little snippy. What's the issue?
