I say, fess up, get it as right as you can and proceed from there.

Your partner's in la la land.

IW, POI. Mistakes happen, and this one is easily corrected.

Exactly. If someone who matters is sitting in the stands or standing along that line when you do it, you're screwed.
More importantly, you've just knowingly screwed a team out of a possession. That's bad officiating, IMO.
