My question is what rule says a "slap on the arm is a foul." If you think there's advantage, then call a foul. But if there's no advantage, then you generally don't have a foul. Are there exceptions? Of course, but they're situational exceptions.

As Junker noted, you probably need to call it at the JH level, especially if you sense the players are testing the limits, but I'd say there are times when it could be let go even at this level.

My point is it's not an "obvious foul", as written. It's definitely not "borderline intentional" unless you think he was aiming for the arm.
