I agree with those who have expressed the view that without being sure, we should go with the first instinct on the call. Even the NFL agrees with this philosophy - for the replay to overrule the call on the field, there needs to be clear and convincing evidence.

However, I don't agree that we should just "let sleeping dogs lie" to avoid controversy. I saw nothing wrong with asking the partner about the call in the original post in this thread. The only thing possibly unwise was changing the call based on 2 umpires who were both unsure but leaning against the original call. I say "possibly unwise" because only the umpires involved know how close their uncertainty was to certainty (if that makes any sense).
