Yes. Especially since, as you point out, the R doesn't have a whistle in his/her mouth.

Not that it exonerates the R (me, in this instance) since I can still step in and make the right call, however, oftentimes you are just trying to stay out of the way.
This is exactly right. If you can get the whistle in your mouth quickly (before the area has been cleared), then blow it yourself. But most times, you're just trying not to get hit.
