If I can tell he's flopping, I do not want to give him the call on that.

This is exactly what I disagree with.
If the contact is worthy of a whistle on the dribbler you cannot take it away because you suspect the defender's "motives". I don't care if he launches himself backwards over your head doing the Dean-scream and lands in the 19th row. Give him the call.
