I know this comparisson is a stretch at best but if the side effects of what your doing is obvious to you then it is intentional.
Depends on the arson statute and what level of culpability is required. It is usually separated by degrees of arson based on property value or death/injury to person.

Speaking of your example, your actor would lack "intent" but likely acted knowingly or recklessly.

Not to drag this out further with semantics, but the original point was "intentional" training requires "intent" to train.
