What would you do?

In that situation, it is possible to basically see the entire floor at L...therefore he would be able to see the obvious mistake.

Also, he didn't overrule his partner. He went and asked a question. If his partner had seen something different, all he had to do was stick with his call.

This situation is similar to seeing a player tip a pass and the ball go OOB. Your partner starts to give the ball to the other team...are you going to give him the information you have or say "Too bad guys, that's his line."?

I agree with what you're saying. From the OP they handled it well. I was just talking about getting out of your primary as a caution. It's not something you want to get in the habit of.
