It was as "intentional" as many other actions in the game where the rules use that word.
There was a time I deliberately shoved a cop. My father had called him over to us in a dispute on the street over what some disrespectful youth had just done to him in an argument. The policeman asked me what the person in question had done. I couldn't resist what might've been a once-a-lifetime opp'ty. I'm sure the cop expected just a description, but instead I demonstrated by shoving him on the shoulders with enough force that he, being slight of build, staggered backwards. My father later couldn't believe I'd done that on purpose.
I'm sure that calculated type of action, i.e. contriving as I did to push an authority figure around in the guise of other action, was
not what the player in the game undertook, but it was intentional nonetheless.
