@JRutledge
Why are you changing up the example of the play? How did a play with three tenths of a second remaining where there's a field goal attempt all of a sudden turn into a question of "continuous motion"? In all honestly, are you actually reading my posts or are you creating straw man posts to address the issues you personally have and imposing them on me?
Like where are these toxic statements coming from:

I guess you could sit there and argue on the floor they are wrong and get into a confrontation as you did with your partner (as you did not give any information), so be it. I cannot speak for anyone else, but I have not gotten in any confrontations with partners on the floor for these kinds of situations. On the other hand, you have had such confrontation and made your partner so mad they confronted you in email. That also has never happen to me in my career. So how is that attitude working out for you?

So much for giving "peace"…
@Adam
Again, some understood the question, and some did not, and some like you are giving an incomplete answer. I don't see why the play that I had would not be one where I would go up to my partner as I addressed your reasons before this thread turned sour for a couple of pages. I'm hoping that it be possible for this forums users to share their reasons in a principled and logical fashion rather than using personal attacks like JRutledge did above as I'm willing to continue this discussion respectfully. If you don't like that I've disagreed with you, that's on you.

You obviously understood my question. I'm addressing those who have focused on one aspect of the play that I personally had in such a critical fashion that they're going as far as making it nearly an absolutist position to not confer with their partner just for the sake of indicating how wrong I really was. How this is a principled position I don't know, which is why I'm still posting in this thread to find out.
About my personal play, yes, I got what I needed in the play; it was my overbearing attitude that was the reason why I was at fault which needs to be changed the next time I choose to confer with my partner. And since I am only talking about this
one play that I went up to my partner rather than describing my situation as trying to correct every mistake I believe my partner made during the game, it should be safe to assume that I understand that conferring with your partner is to be done during those rare times during the game where one believes it would be prudent to do so. But that again comes down to the official's
judgment and not on an absolutist rule that every time I believe my partner made a mistake that I'm always going up to him or never going up to him.
As I indicated, I don't believe that I was wrong in believing it was a prudent moment to go up to my partner, but rather a poor approach where I should have come in more respectfully. Now I'm trying to find out why this is still not satisfactory from those who have been extremely critical of me as well as seeking advice from officials who are willing to confer with their partner on those rare calls in how to do it properly and with respect.
