I do not agree with your statement however that contact that does not affect the play is by rule not a foul.

Well considering that incidental contact is described in detail in the rulebooks, not sure how you can just call a foul without considering adv/dis on some level. Again, without looking at 4-27, not sure I would know what a foul is. Especially the passage in Article 3 of that rule.
You are saying just call a foul because it is there. Not sure what a foul is without some of the rulebook guideline. Advantage/disadvantage comes from 4-27-3 and discribing that, "contact that does not hinder the opponents from participating in nomral defensive and offensive movements should be considered incidental." Not sure what you are using as your reference.
