Exactly. It's up to the official on the spot to use their own judgement as to whether that particular act was worthy of being called "flagrant" and warranted an ejection. If they didn't feel that the act was worthy of being called a "fight", or had any doubts at all that a "flagrant" act was committed, then obviously they aren't gonna call a flagrant foul on the play.
Intentional fouls, flagrant fouls, player control fouls, unsporting technical fouls, etc.,etc.- or whether you're even gonna make a call in the first place- those are all judgement calls by the official.

Fine, then why ask the question in the first place? Why have this forum?
We all come here to share ideas that are based on SOMEONE ELSE BEING THERE! So unless Juulie has some video she'd like to share we have to go by what she described, and what I read was a deliberate attempt at vengence and A1 hit B3. She called a common foul and the coach removed the player. In hindsite she said she probably should have called it flagrant.
The whole intentional foul idea entered later as a middle ground, bail out from calling a flagrant foul.
