In the heat of the battle, that can be forgotten. Especially if some coach starts questioning your enfrorcement. Nah, they wouldn't do that would they.

Agreed, that's why I like to remember it as "loss of the right to repeat the previous down". As you said, not important if the line to gain has been reached because then the previous down isn't necessary.
During this particular play, you can bet it was questioned by the coach!!!
