I wrote the above words in the context of making such a call on a play that your partner could not or did not see, not one which he merely saw differently from you. You have advocated not caring why your partner didn't call what you think should be called, and just making your call. You aren't deferring to the primary official, you are blowing your whistle and overriding his decision. I don't believe that is proper.
However, I agree that it is certainly proper to help with something that your partner isn't able to cover. Good officials know when that occurs. You don't seem to grasp the distinction.

Do you have some sort of ESP that allows you to know for 100% certainty what your partner can or can't see?
My point earlier was not that I don't care what he sees, only that I can't know for 100% certainty what he can see, and neither can you.
I can have an idea. I can make an educated guess, but I can't know for sure.
And neither can you.
