This is just like any play where A outgains the penalty enforcement. IP is "worth" 15 yards. If A gained more than what the penalty is worth, then A's choosing to decline makes total sense to me, just like a play where the defense interferes, knocking the receiver off stride, but the receiver makes the catch anyway, falling down immediately. Perhaps with out the interference, he keeps his feet and score, but we cannot assume that. The way the current rule is written totally makes sense to me.
