What happened to the lost art of engineers waving?

Isn't every wave considered a highball? I always thought it was a tradition, if not a rule, to wave back as an answer to a highball. I remember seeing older engineers wave back by holding up their hand, palm upward and outward, with their fingers spread and curled as though they were cradling a ball. And then they would quickly rotate the imaginary ball back and forth on its axis by rotating their hand at the wrist. I concluded that the imaginary ball was the highball.
