Scrimmage kick play

Great discussion folks

OK, I may be missing something obvious, but this has me a little confused. The definition of post scrimmage kick foul in 2-16-2g includes "...scrimmage kick that ends beyond the neutral zone..." However, in 10-4-3 it states "The basic spot is the spot where the kick ends when R fouls occur:" and then lists criteria a-e. Nowhere in that list does it say the kick must end beyond the NZ, therefore it seems that this rule implies that the end of the kick should be used as the basic spot even if the kick ends behind the NZ. Please, clear things up for me if you can.
