I thought that with any inadvertant whistle you go to AP arrow.

Where is that written? If one team clearly has possession of the ball when you screw up, why would you not give it back to them? If there is a question of who is in posession at the time of the screw up or there is no team control at the time of the screw up, then you have to go to the arrow.
