I think you're making this thing way to complicated Kelvin. The decision to force A to accept the TD is backed by rule. The rule is that this penalty would have to be enforced from the end of the run. Since it can't be enforced, there is no other option.

You're reading to much into the rule change. The rule change says, "Automatic declination of certain fouls committed by the opponents of the scoring team have been eliminated." Again, certain fouls, not all fouls. That tells us that there will be some fouls that can't be accepted and the TD refused. Otherwise, the explanation would read "Automatic declination of all fouls committed by the opponents of the scoring team have been eliminated.

It just isn't so.
