If indeed this is the intent of the writer(s), a simple editorial change would cover it.
If 2 officials give conflicting preliminary signals on a block/charge play, both fouls must be reported.
4-19-8 and, naturally 4.19.8, deal with double fouls. The word signal does not appear in either. In theory, any call may be made after giving any signal, proper or otherwise, or no signal at all. No signal, conflicting signals, both examples of bad mechanics. But name another call that is changed by an official's failure to use proper mechanics.
