How can you interpret it as an action to instigate a fight when it DIDN'T instigate a fight?

Yes, it could result in an opponent retaliating but it DIDN'T result in an opponent retaliating.

You call what happened, not what might happen. If the closed fist caused a retaliation, go ahead and call both players for fighting. If there's no retaliation, go by Article 1. And Article 1 says that there has to be an attempt to strike made.

And don't "think". That'll get you into trouble every time. Be sure.
