That said, I do drop to low beam only when I'm following a car on a two lane road in a no passing zone for some distance at night, but before starting my pass I go back to high beam to help them remember I'm there and try to communicate that I'm passing now.

It looks like you did not flash, ok by law, but just left them on. Which makes it harder for drivers to judge how far away you are and how fast you are going. It is unlawful to run high beams like that for your safety.
