Let's rephrase that..
Let's not do any "training" signals below 200ft
And if we are climbing safely and I cannot reach you on a radio, wait until
at least 200ft for the rudder waggle.
But if I'm below 200ft with a problem.. can't climb, got no power, and the
glider is the problem.. It's for real and you'll get the signal.

If I've got the problem, bad motor, flight control issue and I can't get you
to a safe altitude, you'll see the rope go slack.
I always hate the wing rock.. if I'm low and loosing power.. that's the last
thing I want to do.

In any case, since you can't trust the glider pilot to correctly
interpret this signal, the policy to train tow pilots would be to NOT
give any signals below 200 feet.
Or back to what Todd Smith was saying. Nothing wrong with it.
