I can dig it.

The brethren down south are concerned with improving our product first and foremost. After that, we are concerned with doing things that make (common) sense so we can focus on improving our product.

I sent our rules interpreter (we have one of those in addition to the instructional chair) an email and he agrees with me about the whistle. We will use it when necessary, but not all the time.
