getting back to the question at hand (rather than disparaging each other or the particular rule set you happen to call)....
Yes, there are certain calls in which advantage gained does not necessarily enter into the flag flying. We all know there are procedural calls that get called in this manner.
However, one must also consider if the action that would cause those calls is "big" enough in the game played at the time to make it worth calling. I did not see the particular game played that's been referenced here (and from all I've read about it, I sure wish I had) but when it comes to trusting the judgement of an official who is good enough to be selected for a big bowl game, I'll error on going with his apparent ruling that this was not "big" enough to warrant a call.
