As you know, the whistle rarely makes the ball dead. It is just an indication that the ball is dead and has been since the point of the infraction. A late whistle doesn't change that fact.
The point at which I think about whether the situation should or should not be a T will be the point the ball became dead, not when I finally put air in the whistle.
