Post #32 pretty much summarizes my opinion on this. It's ludicrous. I'm sure there's some legitimate reason why this rule was created, but I'm hard-put to figure out what it was.
I guess they're treating fielding a kick to be the same as catching a pass, but I would posit that they're two very different things. A kick is a live ball and a pass isn't. A kicking play doesn't stop once the ball hits the ground.
