So to simply say no contact no foul is way outside the reality of the situation.

A better way to see it is some contact, that would not have happened without the flop, that while minimal was caused by a questionable act and is a safety issue for the players in the area and the flopper too.
I think I speak for us all when I say "Huh?" A flopper who commits a foul is no longer a flopper but merely a defender who committed a foul by using poor defensive technique. As for the safety issue because of a questionable act I believe I would need some more information.
