Think of the option like football... they take the play, or they take the penalty. Runners aren't "going back" if not forced, per se. If "the penalty" is accepted, the play didn't happen, so there's no "going back". They simply stay where they were before "the play" started (unless forced)..

I'm looking for the part in the rulebook where it says what you're saying in your last sentence?
