I have always been with you on this part. But until some written reference to the signal being a part of what makes or breaks this play, I personally will never look at it that way.

For the record, the only time this ever happened to me, I didn't even know it until afterward. I had the block. My partner saw me and quickly deferred. He dropped his signal and switched. I didn't even know he had blown his whistle. The coach who caught the short end said, "What did y'all do, flip a coin?" But he was actually smiling. Maybe that means we got it right.
