Sure, his signal wasn't" complete" but it was sufficient to know what it was. Once that is done where he has made his call known, in the case of a conflicting double whistle, there is no going back...by rule. That is the only reason that rule exists....to avoid the appearance of one overruling another.
And some will try to slice it by saying it should belong to the primary but I can always create a play where the primary is also ambiguous....so that still doesn't resolve it....and it is just as likely to lead to the wrong call as it would lead to the right call.

Just playing to the other side of the argument.
Citation please. It is a double whistle. The T communicated to the L to hold his preliminary, then took the call himself.
He did not signal anything other than two hands in the air, which could have been a held ball for that matter.
