What people are trying to get you to do is have consistency on similar plays at both ends of the floor that is all.
It will come in time, you will better understand the process, but if it is 100% a Block it is a Block you do not change it because you just had a PC foul at the other end.

Why does one have to think about it this way then?

See the call, make the call. Know the difference between a block and a charge. Just cause my partner kicks a block/charge at one end doesn't mean I'll do so at the other end in the name of "consistency," either.

"you will better understand the process"? If directed at me, it's condescending and poorly placed. If you are talking to someone else here, then I'll let them tell you that.

I do think this is one of the most talked about calls in basketball that is also one of the easiest to make. Did the defender have LGP? If so, ship it the other way. If not, it's a block. It's not that hard. It is possible to overthink the game.
