That's where I, and all of my local colleagues, draw it.

In the immortal words of the infamous Jurassic Referee: "There are certain violations that I think that even the FED rulesmakers would probably agree, if you twisted their arms, that some discretion (read: advantage/disadvantage) is needed to make an appropriate call. Examples might be 3-seconds and the 10-second count on a free-throw shooter".

(Before he passed away, I got Jurassic Referee to agree that these were two violations to apply advantage/disadvantage to. It was, in my opinion, my finest hour on the Forum.)
