You are right, nobody said skip the fouls. However, my experience has been that it is a slippery slope, and giving the benefit of the doubt on violations slides into giving the benefit of the doubt on contact. And then it gets ugly, and people get hurt. The problem is not all refs make this distinction that you are making, despite what is said here.
If you can keep your leniency to missing a couple of violations, I have no problem with that. I am not one who is big on calling every travel when a team is completely overmatched and down by 40 points. Frequently they can't even initiate their offense, so letting a little marginal stuff slide is no big deal to me. If it lets them play a little more and keeps the game flowing a bit better, you be the judge. And if it is a team that could compete but is screwing up, you can usaully see the difference. In those cases, keep calling your game because you could be a momentum swinger by changing.
But the obvious mismatches are obvious - do what you feel comfortable doing as long as you aren't jeopardizing safety.
