			Whoever is arguing otherwise in your association is just wrong.  There is always "THAT GUY" in a group.  
 
It is a safety whether they accept the penalty or not.  B/R can not decline and take the ball from the previous spot . 
 
Reddings' example 6-52 is clear, "the result of the play and the penalty are the same-a safety". 
 
I wouldn't sweat it.
