If he couldn't play through it, then it wasn't really incidental. It had a disadvantageous effect on the player.

You can't call the game differently for less skilled players.

The less skilled the players are, the more likely it is that slight contact (which would be incidental at higher levels) will cause an illegal disadvantage. So you officiate with the same philosophy (advantage/disadvantage), while mindful of the fact that it will be much easier to put the players at a disadvantage.
