In this Case Book play, it is referred to as "an accidental whistle."

But yet within the text of RULING for 5.8.3 E it reads...."In (b) an inadvertent whistle has occurred."

Same for 4.36.1 in the Rule Book.

Perhaps, in the thoughts of some writers/editors of rules statements, an "inadvertant whistle" applies to violations, and/or fouls, whereas an"accidental whistle" would apply to the stopping of play to grant a request for a timeout, or other non-violation/foul situations.
