Is there room for one more angel on the head of that pin?

NFHS 10-6 explains the "All-but-one" PRINCIPLE. In essence, explains the EXCEPTION "of a foul by the offense which occurs BEHIND the basic spot during a loose ball or running play is "enforced from the spot of the foul."

In as much as this EXCEPTION is applied ALWAYS, doesn't that mean it is THE "Basic Spot" ("this is the basic spot for penalty enforcement"- see 10-4-1) WHENEVER the EXCEPTION is applied?
