Re: ".....I understand that Tee or Roger as an UIC answer appropriately if asked; however, I also understand that they will never ask as a BU. Here's where we disagree. I don't think a base umpire with perfect execution of mechanics can see every pulled foot beyond a reasonable doubt."

Never say never!!!!! Yes, there are those "rare" occassions when I may go to my partner for assistance.
But just because a manager, coach, player, fan yells out to check with my partner does not dictate me doing so.
If I absoutely feel that my view was not clear enough to make a call then I will ask for help.
The reality of the situation is this - - -

Coach yells out: "Hey blue, you can't see from clear across the infield to make that call!!!"

Me: "Coach, the sun is about 92,897,000 mi away - and I can see it just fine from here!!!!!"

"Let's play....."
