Bingo...Replay the down does not equal do over.
The other false belief I think exists is that an IW means the down wasn't completed. Just because it didn't end in the normal fashion, that doesn't mean the down wasn't completed. It was a down just like any other down with the exception that it carries a different process for determining where the ball will be put into play on the next play and when the clock will start.
