I have seen an example where the pass gets tipped up top by white, goes OOB along the endline, the L signals for white ball, the crowd goes crazy, and partner comes in with the info that white did indeed tip it out by the 3-point line. However, what the L saw was blue tried to save it right before it went OOB, and was the last to tip it. L steps out and says, "Thank you for the info, but blue 21 tipped it right here, that's why we're staying with white". This situation allows the L to stay with the call if indeed they have info that might be different from their partners' info.

For the most part, if I'm receiving info from my partner, I agree I'm trusting their info and going with the correction.

I guess I should have said it this way...
