I think it would have to be more than a common foul. A lot of contact is a result of other contact that was already called. Someone just falling down into someone is not going to result in a foul that I would call Intentional or a Technical in a dead ball situation. I think the point of the language is to highlight that it has to be relatively serious to call a foul in that situation.
