Fun With Excessive Contact …

The rule doesn't say there's no relevance to premeditation. It just says it may or may not be premeditated. Just like it says the severity of the act is not the sole determiner.

Your statement about hard fouls is a local/personal practice or interpretation. There's nothing wrong with that. But don't try to sell it as if your interpretation is rules based while somebody else's which uses intent or premeditation is not.
