We eat that call.
2. BU sees and calls a pulled foot that PU knows was not a pulled foot.
We can change that call.
Aren't both situations here judgement calls?
Here is where I am confused.
Isn't going for help to ask for missing information?
Rather than a 2nd opinion about a judgement?
If the latter, where do we draw the line? (Assuming there is a line to draw)
Please advise.

The logical similarity is there as you say, but
we treat a swing called a strike as unchangeable; even though we will change a non-swing call to a swing with help. Not necessarily logical, not in the "book", just umpiring.
I think I commented on the reasoning in the other topic.
A pulled foot change (either way) is the same as any play; like either the runner or fielder missing the base or a trap/catch when the partner has a better angle. Or a missed tag (me yesterday).
