I'm sticking to my view that when you blow, everyone thinks you're overiding your partner's call. You and your partner know what's going on but others don't
You don't need a whistle to let people know you are talking because you ARE talking, they can see that. Perception is reality, you blow your whistle after your partner blows his, crowd, coaches are now looking for you to overide everything. Bad precedent IMO
I would only blow if partner didn't see me and that could happen especially in two man if we're going the other way. That said, as a rule, I don't like to blow for reasons in previous post.
