To say you haven't done the bolded portion would lead me to question your forthrightness on this subject.
And you can do that AND follow the rules. Since ALL fouls are judgment calls with advantage/disadvantage concepts applied, does the one foul impart any more disadvantage than what was already imparted by the other. If not, was the other contact really a foul at all? Seems to me that, by rule, a second contact is not even likely to be a foul unless it is excessive. In that case, you don't really have a multiple foul, you have more.
