What gets me is I really think there is NO way you could have stopped this from happening even if you were stand right there unless you had a measuring stick to watch how deep they were pouring the gunite.

If it were my pool, I would live with the mistake. I don't think I'd want to deal with a cold joint due to tearing it out and redoing it. I'd see if you could get an upgrade or something, anything for the stupid mistake.
I still feel you should leave it as is.
2" is an insignificant amount in over 3' of water. I bet you would have never noticed if it had not been measured.
If you do leave it, you'll need to update your signature:
Build in-progress, broke ground 11-16-2015.
33x19 free form, 7ft raise spa.
Baja shelf, 14'x 7'-9'ft. (16" deep)
3.33ft to 5.5ft. Quartzite flagstone coping

Holy cow, Titan, I'm not sure what to say. How inflexible did you present yourself to the PB with your original complaint? And why didn't you just let the crew that was already there do the work? <<< makes no sense.
I meant no offense -- I did just read through your entire thread and you have picked up quite a few mistakes along the way. It must be very frustrating for you.
Agree 100%, perhaps they can add in the glass beads to my Tropics Blue or Aqua Blue Mini pebble plaster, or more Abalone or both. Perhaps the Firepit? well, that might be pushing it.
The wink got to me. So life is this delicate dance of give and take. Your actions on the depth being 2" too short had this reaction: all of those workers didn't get paid today because you sent them away. Yes, they can't speak english, and they now can't feed thier kids. Because of 2 inches of water for a few linear feet of your backyard swimming pool. And you were at the pour, and couldn't effectively monitor the work at the time with a string and a measuring tape, for which you are angry with the PB. I wish the PB and his bad site manager took the financial hit, but you and I both know he didn't. Oh, wait, for the 2-inch fail, maybe he lost his low wage job, too. This is why you need to be more circumspect in the future: in the role of owner, you have the ability to really hurt the livelihood of people you work with.
