How can you even obtain LGP when you're running side-by-side with an opponent? My point is, LGP shouldn't factor into this equation, so why mention it to the official?

The lowered shoulder will tell you who initiated contact, even if it's not always relevant.

Often true, but not always. There are those that say it's always a charge if the dribbler/shooter lowers his shoulder, but I've never found that in the rule book. I'd like to be pointed out that passage, if it exists.
