If it is actually wrong to do this, then I'll stop. I don't understand why it's wrong, I think it's wrong that you have to go to your partner by rule, I think it's wrong that your partner could overturn the call that you know you had right.

And, I don't agree with not having double secret probation signals in some circumstances. I'd love to hear where or why this started becoming smitty-ish, or why the mindset on this changed.
