Who ever said anything about "not calling fouls altogether"? Where did you and Eric come up with that? NOBODY is saying that you should not call a foul when the shooter is fouled. I would never say that, and it's obvious that pro officials do NOT subscribe to that philosophy.

If a star clearly fouls another player, he is getting called for it regardless

So what happens if the star player and another defender foul the shooter at the same time? They both obviously foul him. Are you going to call a multiple foul? No way, right? So if you know -- for whatever reason -- that one of the players has 3 fouls and the other only has one foul, who do you call the foul on?

I'm not trying to be argumentative. I'm just trying to make my point as clearly as possible. What you said in your previous post is the same thing I'm saying.
