The Q&A is intended to provide guidance on the interpretation of the rules... but the responses are not rules unto themselves.

The head ref was entirely welcome to take the advice that inconsequential contact need not be called, however they may still interpret this contact as sufficient to call.

What you, as the team receiving the DQ, view as inconsequential may have appeared to the ref, at the time, as having consequence... or potential consequence.

Or the ref may have completely blown the call. Either way is perfectly irrelevant to the fact that they call was made and it doesn't sound like it was necessarily a bad call.
