I believe as the POE tried to convey that flopping has no place on a basketball court. Officials rely on visual evidence in order to determine what fouls and violations to call. If the players begin to purposely create fake visual evidence in order to unduly influence the officials decision then the sport will go down a road we do not want it to go.
Most seasoned officials will not be fooled with most flops. But what about less experienced ones? Their job is difficult enough without allowing the players to actively try and gain an undue advantage by creating a false impression.
So IMO, I try to eliminate flops by telling the flopper or their coach to never do that again or if the act warrants it in my opinion to call the T.
