If an umpire has no call because he can't see the play for any reason, being blocked, poor mechanics, sun in eyes, lost the ball, fell on his ass, ran into a player, whatever, just because his partner is in the right position to see a play does necessarily guarantee the partner has a call for that play. Putting the call on a partner can have disastrous consequences to assume that partner can make that call.
If that partner also has no call and calls safe, its two blind mice, except the bitching got dumped on that partner.

But I agree, calling safe then getting help afterward is the better course.
