Yea, I see. Well, I didn't want to use "intent" because that implies that the player fully intended to make contact, and I wanted to indicate a less violent thought process. I also didn't use "intention" or "intentional" because of the vocabulary confusion that might result. "Intentionality" means, in this context, that the player was swinging the elbow as a deliberate act, even if there was no "intent" to make contact.
