Zone Arm damage

Here's a question about the zone arms that other threads are discussing:
If a opponent robot has a zone arm extended and it's blocking the movement of your robot or the goal (not entangled in either), if you move your robot through their arm and damage their arm, would you be disqualified for damaging the other robot, or will the judge overlook it as a bad design on their part? The robot (ALL of the robot) is supposed to be designed to take some abuse; standard pushing and shoving doesn't seem like a malicious act, even if it's done a flimsily designed zone arm.

Other thoughts?
