This is a simple "type/token" confusion.
(1) Penalties are in the rule book to prevent certain types of act. (2) Imposing a penalty for a foul or violation obviously cannot prevent the token (or instance) that one whistled. The truth of (2) does not undercut the truth of (1). The idea of such preventive officiating as "get out of the middle!" depends on the idea in (1).
