Sun Ju Ahn's penalty - fair or not?

Definite penalty, what was she thinking about

Only just seen the video (thanks for the link). For me a penalty all day long. You have to take the stance you get. Yes you can shuffle your feet a bit to stabilise your stance once you have planted your feet, but you can't basically re-arrange the sand to your liking before you do so.......which is what she did.
