That's one way to look at it. Another way would be to say, hey maybe they have a point.
At the end of the day you obviously go with what your assigner or other powers that be want. But the vast majority, at least from my experience and observation, don't train, require, or expect this.
And I only speak for myself, but I think multiple people are pointing out the folly of needlessly pointing out timeouts before zero as a tip for younger officials and others who do this, not because their assigner wants it done, but because they mistakenly think it's something they should be doing.
Like all advice, take it fwiw. But there's a reason there are multiple experienced officials offering the same advice here.
