ICBW, but I think there was an interpretation a few years back that said any touching of an opponent with a hand was supposed to be called as a foul.

I believe you're adding something that wasn't in any of the various POEs on handchecking. The POEs said that putting a hand on the
dribbler was a foul. Putting a hand on an
opponent without the ball
could be a foul if some kind of advantage was gained. If no advantage was gained, it's just incidental contact. That's my understanding of the purpose and intent of this rule.
Rule 10-6-1 sez that contacting an opponent with your hand is legal if that contact is incidental to an attempt to play the ball also.
