The fact that calling would make it a multiple foul doesn't change that.
The only other alternative is that you're saying that you call every single contact a foul and that you never judge some contact to be incidental.

No, the other alternative is acknowledging that even if I didn't call something, it was still could have been a foul. Maybe I didn't call it because I didn't see it. Maybe I didn't all it because I judged it to be incidental. I make mistakes in judgment. I've called fouls that weren't, and I've no-called plays that were fouls.
