He clearly said he had "no view" of the play.
No view = ask partner. I don't see why not.

What if he wasn't doing that? Are you willing to get a call wrong because you don't want to at least attempt to get your partner's input?

If partner saw anything he could add to your call, then he wasn't doing his job. Don't know about you, but I make the assumption that my partner is doing his job.

I make no assumptions whatsoever and the fact he may have other responsibilities does not mean he couldn't have looked my way.

Bringing this one to him is frankly an insult to his abilities, and puts doubt into everyone else's minds about YOUR abilities. Stick with the call on this one.

BS, take your ego and partner's and leave then at the gate to the field. The insult is in not doing so.
