Second, studies have shown that calls made out of one's primary are only correct 25% of the time.
That means that you are screwing up the game 75% of the time.

"Going with your partner's decision," even though you are 100% sure they missed it isn't "deferring." It's just stupid. It's bad officiating. Negligent or lazy, depending on the situation.
I'd be interested in reading this study you refer to. Never heard of it. I seem to recall skepticism on this board about recent officiating "studies."
ETA: I didn't coin the "live and die" phrase. It's from the first page of this thread, which started the discussion.
