It is the action, not the intent or lack there of. The player can hit someone in the face with an elbow and it could be accidental and be a FF1 or 2.
And your lack of common sense is something you will have to evaluate. I just said that an official with common sense would not look at this on video and say, "That was a FF2." Now since you were not reviewing the play in this particular game and making a decision (same as me), not sure why the common sense part of my stance applied to you at all? But then again is the day in the life of people on this board, personalize everything.
