I think we'd agree its pretty uncommon and a quick "hey partner I think we may need to upgrade" can take less than five seconds and now everyone knows that we are working together, through everyone's egos to get a play right. In the end, yes, you must live and die with your own whistles, I'm not coming to rescue anyone. But, this is clearly a situation where good partnering can keep us out of alot of trouble.
No, I think we're both talking about the same thing. And we all probably agree on most things also, especially that this only happens on fairly rare occasions. The point that I was trying to make was that when it does happen, if you feel that your call was appropriate and correct, you have to go with your own judgment no matter the input given to you by your partner(s). That's not an ego thingy imo. That's simply belief in your own ability.
