John, it seems the opinion of the majority is that contact is initiated with the shoulders and that the helmet contact comes after the initial contact, not at the same time. This is, by definition (and by illustration in the comic book known as S&I), not a foul.

For there to be an illegal helmet contact foul, the helmet has to be the first part of an offender's body that makes contact with the opponent. That is the rule, if you don't like it, lobby to have it changed.

Lobby to get 7 officials on the field while you're at it, because Jeff's point is exactly right. In a five man crew, nobody is going to see the possible IHC in the second video because it is during an interception return. Both wings, the back judge and the umpire are all behind the play. The referee might see that but it is highly unlikely.

John, if we called everything that looked like a foul, not only would the game last 5 hours long, but you would be in an apoplectic rage on the sideline.
