It does seem however, that some seem adamant that, "one size fits all", must apply, at least as long as it's their particular size, or perception. It would be a lot more valuable if you have a differing perspective and would care to explain it, rather than just aimlessly throw rocks.

Don't be so quick to get your panties in a wad, Alf. Self-examination may be the order of the day when it comes to determining dopey observations and rock throwing.

Not every post is designed as an attack. Some are an attempt at sarcastic humor while others are simply a different point of view or interpretation. These responses are sometimes set off by one's continuous arguments on a certain position in spite of written evidence to the contrary.

Mirroring would simply mean, copying another officials signal and should not happen. Signals by two officials, after communication, in an area of joint jurisdiction would not only be required, but necessary. Sometimes, if more than one official is signaling, one of them is not watching his area.
