And if the official doesn't call a violation when/if your fast count hits 5, the official looks like an azzhole.

It's not a violation. It's a technical foul for committing an unsporting act.

You were given the rules citation that says a technical foul can be called for that act. If you get one, don't be suprised. You came here wanting an answer and you got one. It's up to you whether you want to believe the answer or not.
