Perpendicularity measurement disagreement

So the issue is we have a part that is a cylinder with a non flat surface for the main datum. When you set it on the surface plate it will rock. The engineers say that does not matter as the measurement allows for the rocking to fall within the measurement envelope. I say it falls out of tolerance due to it not being flat so the perp of the axis is no longer perfectly perp from the datum. I have done this on the height gauge and found the center axis is not perp due to the datum not being flat. i am calling the part out. I am told i am wrong. thought feelings etc.


Correction the face that is not flat is datum B datum A is a center line.
