It's like when people complain about "soft" fouls that result in penalties. If a discretion is normally called a foul outside the box, it's a foul inside the box. Only an English precedence has determined that referees should allow everything up to murder inside the box before calling a penalty.

Unintentional handballs shouldn't be called outside the box either.

Can't determine intent? Then it probably wasn't intentional.
