No, ignoring these violations wouldn't advance my career. I only ignore what my assignor (who was on the rules committee btw and calls ALL the shots in this area!) tells me to ignore. You call it crass politics. I call it being consistent with other refs in my area. :SHRUG:

Maybe, but I think I'd better go now while I'm still well-saying. That guy can get so annoying...

I'm tempted to bring up that "sensitive" situation I asked you about.

You could also look at it as performing your job (officiating) as your boss (assignor) would like you to, even if you - and industry 'best practices' - believe there may be another way because you want to keep your job and progress in your profession.
