Not coming down on one side or the other, but there is at least one instance of when the penalty for a player's actions is affected by the opponent's reaction.
Taunting, for example. If a shot blocker gets in the face of the shooter and starts taunting him, and the shooter hauls off and clocks him, we've got flagrants on both.
Or, even a hard personal foul that might otherwise be classed intentional could be escalated to flagrant if it results in a fight.
