No argument, Thom, IF that point comes BEFORE the partner says he saw a tag. AFTER that point, then you have a judgement call and not a rule misapplication. Stay out of it once it's a judgement call. In Pete's scenario he didn't. That was the crux of my earlier reply to him.
If Pete could have quietly let his partner know the force was off before the partner claimed he had a tag, no problem. We both agree that he should have.
