1. I try not to force the defender to fall to the floor to get the call. Displacement is enough.

2. Embellishing isn't flopping, IMO.

3. Players who embellish run the risk of being out of position if we don't call the foul. To me, that's punishment enough; especially at the higher levels where the shooter will take advantage more readily.
