There has to be some form of delibate act of touching the ball. The unnatural position interpretation is the most common reason for awarding where the player isn't actually deliberately moving hand to ball. An arm tucking in towards the body is most definitely not a hand ball. In fact that's how you teach to avoid the hand ball.

Peresic's hand ball in the world cup was much closer of a call. Also not deliberate, but unfortunately moving outside of his body not tucked in.
