I'm missing something here.

Why on Earth would I, as the PU, ask the batter where he thought the pitch was that got him kayed? Yeah, yeah, he's your catcher the next half inning, which is all the more reason not to go there. Nothing good can result in that conversation.

Now, a smart catcher will may say something like, "Man, I guess I was too close to the dish on that one", and let that be it. If the PU wants to add some input, then the catcher can agree, and now you've a happy PU. Happy PU's call more strikes with happy catchers. Good catchers know how to "work" umpires, and vice versa.
