Ball is dead. Clock is stopped. Foul was therefore not designed to stop it or keep it from starting.

I agree in principle and this makes sense, but I don't think the rules allow us to differentiate the "obviously advantageous position" intentional fouls vs. the "excessive force" / non basketball plays intentional fouls.
If a foul was ruled intentional, I think it's probably too late to rescind it since the ball is dead.
