I get that it's very imperfect, but this is one are where I would rather have the refs look at the part you can make at least somewhat objective claims about.
Of course I would just give them both five minutes, because again, I don't care that much what you intended, you still did the thing. Not exactly the same thing, but close enough for me.
I also think players need to be allowed to make a mistake now and then in protecting themselves, without getting their head bashed into the boards.
