Speaking as a former referee (2005) intent is incredibly hard to judge in the heat of the moment. You can't assume anything about intent, only what your eyes have seen on the field.
You either have to call every infraction, no matter how small, or figure out how to keep teams from continuing to receive penalties, be it a rule change, or simply more practice for teams, etc.
