Illegal Kick Resulting In a Safety

Whoever is arguing otherwise in your association is just wrong. There is always "THAT GUY" in a group.

It is a safety whether they accept the penalty or not. B/R can not decline and take the ball from the previous spot .

Reddings' example 6-52 is clear, "the result of the play and the penalty are the same-a safety".

I wouldn't sweat it.

Where's the spot of the foul? Where's the basic spot? Which spot applies if the foul is accepted (all but one)? If the foul is declined, what was the result of the play?

take a look at the "Exception" associated after NFHS: 10-4-2C.

Doesn't apply. There was no legal kick, and thus no "K" in the OP.

And there wasn't an inadvertent whistle either.
