It's unanimous - you give your partner the needed information to make the correct call. It's his call - especially since he's the only one that saw the play, only he can change it. He either has to eat his call (or the wording of the call) or change it. He's gonna catch it one way or the other.

What all of them said!

There's never an excuse for getting a rule wrong! This is not about a judgment call, it's about a rule interpretation. It will be his call to change it...but it's the officiating team's responsibility to make sure the rule is applied correctly. If he chooses not to change it, then the other partners need to be "on record" among themselves as to what they said was the right way to apply the rule.

Yup, then after the game look it up in the locker room, and loser buys dinner.
