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.

Frankly, I'm ok with you disagreeing.
I just haven't found your responses anything more than entertaining. Certainly not convincing that approaching your partner was the right decision here.
And honestly, if you think the quoted portion of Rut's post is a personal attack, I'm sorry. It may be a bit abrasive, but it wasn't really personal, IMO.
You asked two separate questions, and I don't see that I've misunderstood them.
1. How do you approach the partner at this point.
Answer: He is acting like a baby, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.
2. When do we find it appropriate to approach a partner about a call?
Answer (for the vast majority of officials in this thread): Not on this play as you describe. Further, we've elaborated on plays that we would do so and why they're different than the play in question.
The difference matters, IMO.
The three partners I've approached from lead on BC calls, 2 I knew 100% were rule errors (one was changing his call as I approached), and the other was a play where he didn't see the tip because it happened in the lane.
I assume my partners know the rules until they show me something definitive that states otherwise. You haven't indicated this partner had given you any reason to doubt his rule knowledge.
