Anything may be interpreted any number of ways, but, specifically, advantage/disadvantage with regard to violations has
no rules backing.
With regard to your repeated reference to intent and purpose of the rules, the main thing I get from that is that a team/player is not allowed to commit a violation which gives his team a benefit which was not intended by that rule.
Best example was the player intentionally trying to miss a free throw and the defense commits violations trying to force a make.
