But, we do! A lot of the time a player has to 'go down' to get the free kick/penalty. Hence diving.

So a high boot is only dangerous when there's contact between face and boot... right.

The difference between contact in the context you're dicussing and the contact in a dangerous tackle is that one is about the infringement of the game's rules and the other is about the physical safety of a player. That's why the parallels you're drawing here don't make any sense.

He was penalised accordingly for the offence. Just like dangerous tackles on the ground there is an element of the damage done to decide on which colour card the player gets.

What?

There have been countless two-footed/dangerous challenges that have got yellows or reds that didn't even connect with the player...
 
Barcelona game is absolutely cracking. Shaktar have had so many chances but have been really wasteful, could easily be 4 - 3

To be fair, there is a certain element of subjectiveness, depending on the referee. There is also the subject of intent and many other circumstances to take into account. Even two identical incidents on different days will get results differing from a free kick to a red card.
