The question being asked has NOTHING to do with the original play. It has to do with the general subject of getting with your partner immediately after he/she boots a call involving a rule misinterpretation. Mike even offered you an example--your partner makes an IFF call with two outs--to get your take on the situation.

The impression I get from your continual dodging of the question is that you would let it go until the post-game discussion.

But since you insist on going back to the original play, let's say you're the PU, and you overhear your partner tell the base coach that the reason he called the runner going back to first base out was because the rules require a batter to run in fair territory on any batted ball that is caught in foul territory. Are you going to let that go?
