How are you giving the offense and advantage? The offense could throw an interception (with all that confusion) or make another mistake. You still can have a penalty; it is just a matter of which penalty you are going to call.
Let me say this, I have taken this philosophy with me for years and I have never had anyone really make a big deal out of it. Also we give the benefit of the doubt on a lot of plays to not award cheap penalties or to not award points that might not be earned.
Once again, if it works for you do it. I am just not a mind reader to know when and why players always move. This is why this is a judgment call no matter how many ways we dissect it.
