Why can the NFL clearly define two types of face masking, but would somehow be unable to do so for two types of PI?

How do you propose they divide up major and minor PI?

Major: Significant intent to deprive the receiver of having a chance to catch the ball. This includes pulling the jersey, hacking the arm, tackling, et. al
Minor: Depriving the receiver of catching the ball - contact made with the receiver beyond the expected contact between two men vying for the ball, excessive contact, intentionally screening the receiver without knowing where the football is.
