Force is only an issue as it relates to the goal line.

I realize that.
My question is:
Do you think rule 6-2-4 intended to penalize K for Rs muff in this situation?
It was clearly Rs muff that took the ball from a zone where K could recover and advance to a zone where K could not retain posession.

Where else in the rules can a muff by the team not in posession have such advantageous results?

You can 'what if' the rules ad nauseam. In my 37 years officiating, I have never seen anything remotely close to the described play. If it happened occasionally, the NF rules committee might see fit amend the rule. Until then, we will just have to live with the perceived inequity.
