This thread:
https://surveyorconnect.com/community/threads/measured-record-distances-comps.327907/
talks about an error found on a previous survey. Many other threads discuss pincushioning in situations where measured and record distances don't match (usually by a little). But when an LPS discovers a gross error between a measured location of one or more monuments, and the record(s) from another survey, aside from just "calling them like he sees them", and platting what he measures, does the LPS have any obligation at all beyond that, to alert or inform said other LPS (if he's still practicing) of the problem?

Sure does. Absolutely. We are supposed to contact the other professional and resolve disagreements, if possible.
A lot of damage is done to owners when we fail on this. Way too many times a short conversation would have stopped folks from feeding the lawyers...
