Partner whistled all night long

I'm not sure I agree with this entirely.

I agree that if your partner is making the wrong calls, you don't then make the same wrong calls, but if they are calling more marginal contact than you would normally call, you do need to attempt to get on the same page even if that means passing less, because one team may get hurt worse than the other if you are not close to being on the same page.
