The higher the skill level, I'm more patient to see if the contact is actually affecting the ball-handler or preventing him from doing what he wants to do.

I agree.
And the funny thing about those that don't want to call it because they think they'll be calling it all day....call a few and the defenders just stop doing it. There is a small adjustment period but after that you end up with no more fouls than before.
