Deviation from approved mechanics is a prescription for disaster. By definition, using non-approved mechanics during play leads to inconsistency. There is absolutely nothing to gain, in terms of calling game, by signaling a no-call.

Since I don't believe that interpretation, there's really no danger here.
And in general, I'd say "Lighten up, Francis." A quick signal to alert a partner doesn't equate with the end of the world.
