A new can of PSK worms

4/4 from A 46. A5 kicks ball legally and it crosses the ENZ. B10 is awaiting the kick on B 16 and gives an in-valid fair catch signal(the hand never gets above his chin.)
He catches the ball at B 15.

Why would this NOT be PSK? It meets all criteria for it:

past the ENZ, R foul during the kick (ball in air), r posses?

Any thoughts?

It is absolutely a PSK foul. Interesting, sometime in the past when the code was modified to be simpler, an invalid fair catch fell under a loose ball foul provision meaning when Team B made the signal the ball was in team possession of A. Ergo, back to the previous spot and a chance for Team A to get a first down. That was one of the points that led the debate over the unfair tilt of the rules for PSKs.
