If we both hold our signal until we confer, I also see no problem.
There really is no reason to have a blarge if (as good refs do) we have patient whistles and patient signals.

We can say that all we want, but it still can happen to the best of us (I'm not including myself as the best, merely one of us). I've seen D1 guys have them on TV.
Just as important to good eye contact is knowing and blowing in your primary and staying off a foul if it isn't.
