I think your problem, TxMike, is that you are trying to base your conclusion on semantics, that when examined, don't support your conclusion. As is commonly understood, what may be "obvious" to one party, may very clearly NOT be obvious to another.
Football is a game of feints and fakes and deliberately trying to confuse an opponent into anticipating you are going to do something, you are actually not planning to do.
Responding to an offensive formation offers the defense choices. Often, the choices decided upon by the defense, may cause the offense to elect which direction in which to procede. Kicking, or not kicking, may hinge entirely on the decision by the defense, whether to put a player downfield in response to the formation.
There are things we can all reasonably presume, whether or not something is obvious to someone else, is not one of them.
