The revoke law is tough. Under 64A2, as the revoke trick was not won by the offending player (declarer) but his side won that trick, there is indeed a one trick transfer. Equity doesn't come into it and the TD has no discretion in the matter.

Unfortunately carelessness does not go unpunished but of course it is always open to sympathetic opponents to waive the penalty in the circumstances you have quoted. I know plenty of good players who would do that.

1NT contract .... declarer has taken the 1st 6 tricks.... is in dummy, plays the AC but does not follow in hand because of carelessness.... essentially thinking of conceding the rest of the tricks.  Director ruled it was a 1 trick penalty because they won the revoke trick so 1NT -1 when they couldn't lose that trick in NT.
