But that is a little different than doing so after a call you are not participating in. I do nod if my partner and I have a double whistle and I only do it to acknowledge that we have the same thing or that someone has the call. Usually this is followed by some verbal exchange or comment about who is going to the table.

No, I'm not talking about what you do in practice. I'm talking about a double whistle between partners and one feels obligated to nod as a way of telling everyone he/she had the same thing even if they didn't. It just sounds silly to me. Have I ever nodded on a basketball court? Yes. Will I nod just because I have a double whistle with my partner? Not a chance. If it is something that comes naturally, I will do it. I will leave the acting to someone else.
