You are right to criticize boss for not being open to opinions when they were requested. However, a quick glance at the responses shows a split poll, while you suggest that all respondents were in opposition to his no call. I think that most (if not all) would agree that you call it if it you see more than one incident. All should agree that you can call it by rule the first time it occurs. The only real disagreement is whether or not you choose to enforce the initial violation.

There are many technical violations of rules that go unenforced (3 seconds!) except when an advantage is gained by the offender. There are other violations that are strictly black and white, and some that appear to be a little of both depending on circumstance. Here, boss saw advantage was given not gained by the defense's action and chose to pass on the call. This is done in many circumstances, so it is hard to say he was wrong to do so.
