If there's a bear hug, I don't think you have any choice. I would just rather be looking for a reason to not call an intentional, than looking for a reason to call one.

This is what I was asking about in my really long post earlier - why does everyone look to avoid calling an intentional foul whenever possible, instead of just calling the game the way that the rules are written?

By trying to avoid calling an intentional whenever possible, I believe I'm calling by the spirit and intetn of the rules. If it's there, fine. But I'm not going to look for reasons to call it.
