Well that depends on what sort of history I had with that person.

Stoner, more than anyone, knew that Rossi should not have tried such a rash move on the Ducati, but more importantly Stoner knew that Rossi knew he should not have tried it. Let's say Lorenzo had done it to Stoner. Stoner would think 'Well, that's not normal for the M1 to do that, so just one of those things". But the Ducati does do that on a regular basis, and Rossi knows it, and Stoner knew it.

He has a right to expect more from Rossi. If you are going to put your life in your fellow riders hands, as you do each time you are alongside him at 275km/h, you really need your faith to be repaid.
