Not sure where you gitte impression I use severity to judge the legality of contact. It is one of the factors used but much more goes into determining calls that should and should not be made.

As for marginal vs incidental, around here those terms are intechangeable and are used to describe contact that does not affect play. The term marginal is more preferred among the higher level refs in my area.
