There are some officials who hate it when you make a call in your PCA ("you need to trust me!"), while others aren't bothered by it, so long as it's the right call. I fall in the latter group.
It sounds to me like, if you're too concerned about poaching, you'll be far more hesistant to make the right call, should your partner's brain be tied up with something else (whether it's justifiable or not).

And some officials like to use the "get it right" mantra to justify ball watching. Obviously, this situation is a bit different, and if I recognized my partner was tied up, I'd stretch my area a bit.
The reason officials don't like poaching is because you're more likely to be wrong than right when you make a call outside your area.
