So, why can't I have a flagrant intentional foul? Or is it simply saying that the act itself may or may not be intentional, but that doesn't change the type of foul?

Sorry for the confusion this morning. Ugh.
The NFHS needs to change that wording to "It may or may not be deliberate." That is what they mean. They aren't talking about the category of foul there. The are using the word in its common English language meaning, not as basketball jargon.
