And you would be wrong.
The ball is dead when he gains possession of it, at the 1/2 yard line. In your scenario, he has advanced the ball 1/2 yard into the EZ. That's not possible.
You can't have it both ways. All kicks going into R's EZ result in a touchback. All kicks possessed by K beyond the NZ are dead at the point of possession.
