I reach out to slap the ball and hit your arm instead.

Arm bars and hand checks are different, but even then they tend to be instinctual (bad habits and poor coaching) rather than intentional.

I see your point, though, and think I'm picking nits.

Maybe we should call them "premeditated fouls" instead.

Lets just call it pornography...we know intentional when we see it. Just because A1 meant to whack B1 on the arm doesnt make it intentional. There is more than "intent" to be considered when calling intentional foul....". I have mentioned im a rocket scientist...yes?
