Still missing the point, it would appear.

Working as a crew means not throwing your partner under the bus. I don't have to know if the runner left early, missed a base, or made an attempt toward second when it is my partner's call, but I sure as he!! need to know what are the requirements to properly appeal every one of them. If the requirements aren't met by the person addressing me when it should be addressed to my partner, my answer is ......

"That's not an appeal".
Still, not a contradiction from the manual. "If the
appeal" is an appeal directed to the wrong umpire, we direct it to the right umpire. If not an
appeal, there is nothing to redirect. Still not addressing what they wish to do, they haven't made an appeal until they actually make one.
That's working as a crew. Even though that (working as a crew) isn't actually stated as part of the appeals section in the manual you have cited repeatedly, your description of the intent.
