I think this may be a bit of overcorrection. Usually, the benefit of a prelim far outweighs the embarassment from the few times something like this occurrs.

Try to be sure of what you have before you call a foul. Slowing down a beat may give you a "slow" whistle, but you'll be much more certain of your call.
