As long as we don't let "good" calls go by, I think it is good to give a mental reminder not to make a cheap call at that point.
Cheap or not, if it is a call then call it accordingly, otherwise you have nothing. The degree of "cheapness" may vary among officials even within the same crew. If you see the call, then make it but don't try to prioritize or rank it simply because there are 10 seconds left in the contest.
