Thumbs down Moose weathers firestorm of enraged hunters

The post below of is great significance.

FORGET for a minute your opinion as to if it is "proper" or "mechanically sound" to get help after a call.

I only ask one simple question. IS IT LEGAL to make the call (judgment call, OUT)... then, based on information beamed into my brain from an alien intelligence (aka, the other umpire).. then CHANGE the call to SAFE.. and MAKE THAT MY FINAL ANSWER!

I content that the book clearly says this is OK.. i.e. LEGAL. If it was not.. then (almost) every changed judgment call would result in a protest! As in my orig case..

Would WW and RF like to reconsider their positions? Again.. I emphasize, this is not a case of SHOULDA... I only mean legally.

CC's list is a good list for reference.. for MECHANICS PROPRIETY... it is NOT all inclusive.
