The rules are clear about what is a valid signal. If they give a "half-a@@" signal, you still get penalized. The official just blows the whistle.
And yes if they give an invalid signal that does not give the K the right to slug them. They do not get a free shot to hit a player that is still vulnerable player.
Peace
