The point is that, per the book, no umpire can overturn another umpire's call. You can provide an umpire that made a call with additional information such that he can change his own call, but you can't change his call for him.

One of my favorite quotes of the year...

I'm U1 in a 3-umpire crew. Bases loaded. F2 dropped a ball on a force at the plate, but PU was screened and ruled out. He changed his call after a quick umpire conference. OC approaches and says, "You can't let them overturn your call!" PU responded, "They didn't overturn my call. They provided me with a veritable plethora of additional information."

Think the coach pulled out a dictionary when s/he got home?
