Seemingly wrong things do happen, but Bob M is right (again)by definition it is the way it is.
Not to go a different direction...A attemts a 2 point try from the 1 1/2 yard line--B having been penalized during the TD--A at the snap goes backwards (why? who knows) and finally is tackled at the 10 yard line. During the tackle B is penalized for PF facemask. Is it now fair that A has a right to replay the down, but now from the 5 yard line? Oh well...Coach's don't like basic spot enforcment on this.
