Question:
1. Should I have over-ruled him since he asked, or did I do the right thing?

2. When is it proper to over-rule?
Rev.Ref63,
I think you did fine. However, for me, I just ask ,"Was it shooting?", if, in my opinion, it was.

When we work with a partner with the "preferred" slow whistle, the contact that we see may have been the "second touch" with the first touch occuring a step before our sighting.
There is a decent discussion below on "over-ruling" a partner. Mileage may vary.
