I wouldn't want to be in the position of having to defend a T over that statement at that point in the game. I would even say that calling a T here is overly officious.
1) If you're worried about bringing the house down on your head when you make ANY call at ANY time, then you're in the wrong avocation. Officiating isn't for you.

2) I disagree completely with your "supervisor" remark too. From personal experience I'd have to say imo that the truth is the polar opposite of your statement. Supervisors want officials that will take care of bidness if they have to, not people that make up excuses to avoid making the tough call. People like that give supervisors headaches, and supervisors will get rid of those headaches.
