Enforcement of Rule 10

Rule 10 - Umpires
Section 3.B:
Under no circumstances will any umpire seek to reverse a decision made by an associate, nor will any umpire criticize or interfere with the duties of their associate(s) unless asked to do so.

This appears to be the ultimate dispute.

How should this be handled on the field in real time?
a.) walk off the field
b.) call the UIC to hold court
c.) do nothing and allow the call to be overturned
d.) none of the above (explain)

"a.)" has been beaten to death
"b.)" kinda seems like the right answer, except that if you call the UIC on the field to resolve a dispute between umpires, we have a whole new can of worms
"c.)" can't be it, as the integrity of the game has just been raped
"d.)" seems to be the answer, but needs an explanation.
