In training new officials, one of my HS associations is strict in following the signals from the manual.
I think it's good to instill discipline in newer officials. But as officials start to grow, such minutiae becomes less important--one man's opinion.
One signal detail that does bother me is when an official holds up his open-hand to bring in subs, but doesn't direct his/her palm towards the administering official. Just makes it look like they're walking around court with a hand up in the air with no purpose.
