This is standard instruction early on in training that you do not check on a called strike since that is not the default call if there is a question.

I agree with you 100%.

Years and and years ago when Junior was just starting umpiring, he knew that you only go for help when a Ball is called on a checked swing, but we had a freshmen baseball game where Team A was getting beat pretty bad (the game was ended by mercy rule). Batter A1 tried to check his swing. Junior pointed with his left hand, announced that he had swung, and did the baseball point off to the side with his right hand. The A-HC's asked Junior to go to me for help, to humor him he did and without missing a beat I put the hammer up. We had a great laugh during our post-game dinner.
