Forget about the advantages of actually getting the foul called.
It's like when the pg gets hacked on the elbow on his way by the defender. Let it go, because there was no advantage gained. You're not penalizing the guard for not losing the ball.
Forget about the fact that the foul call is itself an advantage. It's not. It's a penalty for advantage already gained.
And just because there's contact prior to the flop doesn't guarantee the foul will be called. Over time, officials get good at recognizing this (not perfect, but good.)
