The WOA and its supporters in this have picked the wrong "hill to die on." The only "reason" you have is a weak "thems the rules, folks". All that does is reinforce the opinions of the unwashed masses that they are the "typical" autocratic, unbending, field (or court) dictator.
Why didn't the WOA "allow" the request to use the pink whistles?
This whole deal reminds me of those officials who insist an incoming sub get inside the numbers before he can request a timeout when there is no advantage gained by calling it outside the numbers.
