No one is overruling anyone. In any other situation, one official provides information to the other,
he changes his own call, and there is no problem.

The difference is that one case has both infractions against one team and that team will get penalized no matter what what the other completely flips who gets penalized depending on which official backs down (if you were to come out with one) and it would be a completely arbitrary/random decision.

Completely flips?? One team gets penalized, hopefully the right one, just like any other call. Why is it any more random than any other decision reached by two officials when they confer?
