Definitely not. A wrong call at one end does not mean to make the same bone-headed call at the other. We're talking about those 50/50 plays that could go either way. Everyone has their own judgement, what may be incidental or marginal to one official may be a foul to another. So we have to be on the same page. Most folks like to limit this convo to PC/Block plays, but it applies to a multitude of situations: freedom of movement; hand-checking; contact on the shooter in the paint; rebounding fouls; etc.

And you know me, I will have awareness but I may not see a play SDF that you call like I do on a play I have later. Does Donnee still talk about remembering the last 4 calls? I miss basketball on the east coast.
Haven't been around Donnee as much lately but I do have a local mentor (who happens to be on the Women's side) who preaches that type of knowledge of the game.
