Does it matter that there's an advantage? There's an advantage if you make the defense think your are throwing a pass and you instead run. There's an advantage if you line up for a punt and manage to run for the 1st instead. Football is about advantage. I don't understand the seeming desire to flag or stop such a play (or Warren's play either). If you kick the ball to a spot that the receivers are not expecting, kudos to you! No rules were broken, and there was no attempt to deceive outside the normal parameters of the game (like the "Where's the tee" or "Wrong Ball" or fake substitution plays).
The receiving team knows that at any time the kicking team might kick it short and try to recover it. There's no deception there - it's known.
