You are equating ball-watching with calling things out of your primary. These two are not necessarily synonymous.

Yup, and all that extra action that you're now picking up is in your partner(s) area.

How happy is your local rules interpreter that has already told you very clearly and plainly in a meeting that what you are doing is wrong, as per one of your own posts? Aw, that don't matter anyway; he obviously doesn't know what "ball-watching" is.
