There are 2 plausible positions being defended here:
1. PU will ALWAYS take a RLI call.
2. PU has PRIMARY responsibility for a RLI call and will make it 99.9% of the time.
These positions are practically indistinguishable for nearly all umpires for nearly all of their umpiring careers. Chances are, if PU doesn't make this call, it doesn't (and shouldn't) get made.
Not much point arguing over the 0.1% of cases, IMO.
