Interesting question.
You do want to back up each other, but you also want to get the call right as well.
I actually had this situation happen to me. It was the last the out in the game. I did feel foolish afterwards but I thought that it was better to get it right than missing it. I definitely thought she held up her swing. But, I thanked my partner after the game for changing the call and getting it right.
I'm a believer in getting the call right, so I don't think I would tell my partner to agree with me no matter what. If he thinks I'm wrong, then he should overrule me even if I made the original call. The cohesiveness between us may be damaged somewhat knowing that I may not be backed up on all my calls, but it is fixable. Just my opinion.
