+1, especially the "diffferent" way of asking my original question (thanks to JeffPea). I know the vet was only trying to help, and i was totally appreciative of the info/help, just wish it could have come immidiately after i blew the call

Very few have answered OP's actual question...

Here's how I would have handled this, knowing that I'm a newbie and the other two are GOB veterans...

"Someone I worked with a few weeks ago was telling me that if I'm T or N in that situation, I should blow the whistle. Is that incorrect? If our positions were reversed on that play, would you expect me to call the foul? Would you, as L, have automatically come to your partners asking if they saw a foul, when you had no reason to believe there was one?"
