I like Andy's style, and would try to mimic it in some fashion. He seems to take the approach that "what's done is done, let's move on to a play for the down / distance"....I like that. In reality, the call isn't going to change, so why dwell on it. Call the best play you have for the new down / distance, and focus on what's happening next.
I also think that, instead of arguing, I'd be asking the official what they saw on the play. So, instead of arguing, you're trying to understand why something did, or did not get called. But either way, I think the refs probably understand that you weren't happy with how that turned around, but in a more productive way...
For instance: A PI call you thought should have been made against the other team could sound something like this: "Hey ref, I thought I saw their guy their early, what did you see....", and let the ref explain their side. At the end of the day, the call wasn't made, won't change, but without pissing anyone off, you got your point across, and also allowed them the opportunity to respond as well.....
Of course, all of that is easier said than done, because I constantly yell at the refs while watching!
