Please don't make this your default position. You will find 25-year guys who will tell you that's how they call, but this mentality has gone by the wayside. You DO have a better view. If partner asks, make your best judgement call. Period. Granted - if you're not sure, they didn't swing. But if you think they swung, and are asked, then they swung.
PS - welcome to the board. I want to add this - I currently work in an association the brought in about 10 rookies this year. ONE of them reads this board - and that is the one that will likely make it in the long run. It shows you care and it shows you want to learn.
