flagrant player control?

While I understand your thinking, this seems like a way to avoid getting "dirty." If the play warrants a flagrant foul, shouldn't the flagrant foul be called? One thing I can't understand is a need to get a message across. Can you explain that theory a little more?
If a player/coach/fan/observer knows the rules of a flagrant or intentional foul and the proper foul is avoided, this could open up a whole new can of worms. In the end, we could very easily understand and agree on this, but those two sentences alone caused a "huh."
