Sometimes "they" do

What if the "Jumbotron" clearly shows there was no foul, do we take our call back or just eat it and move on?
I too have never done this , but I've heard of officials whistling a foul but then realizing its not a foul and converting it to an inadvertent whistle. Of course, I've never done that either! . The fact is this is not directly covered by any rule or case play that I know of. If there is an official interp I don't know about it and even if there is there is a precedent for ignoring official interps on this forum. Notice the smiley guys!

Use rule 2.3 to fix this and move on.
