My first sport is football and the underlying philosophy there is "no harm, no foul." When you can explain to me how the pitcher gains an advantage by waving his arm, I'll reconsider my position.
Till then, my well being is more important than the rules, and my interests are best served by having the pitcher and catcher communicating. Why call a balk when a simple warning will do and frankly, I rarely see a hand wave in FED ball.
