Your point is valid, but ...
Both ASA and (at least, in the past) ISF teach to make a "first touch" signal, to help your partners judge a possible appeal on a tag up. The fair or foul signal is immediate on touch; the hammer indicates the catch/out. If a foul ball is dropped, you then signal dead ball; if a fair ball is dropped, you either continue to pump fair, or safe signal for no catch.
