do you overrule your partner, or whats the proper way to correct (or not correct) your partner (if he still thinks, he's right) ?

IMO, the answers given are what's "theoretically " correct but IMO we need to discuss reality.
You might be working with a "stubborn partner' who is a "top dog".
Personally I am not going to "get into it" with my partner on the field. We get together discuss the situation and I tell him/her what the ruling is (assuming I am "dead on" sure).
It is now up to him/her to either change the ruling or "live with it"
Some answers given said that protests could be detrimental to one's career. This could be a 'catch 22" because fighting with your partner on the field is no good either. It boils down to the "lessor of 2 evils"
In Summary: If you are the crew chief and have final say and are sure of the ruling then make the correct ruling. However, if you are NOT the crew chief and your partner is stubborn IMO, do not have a heated discussion on the field but allow the call to stand and await the managers protest
