And why is that COMMENT in that section, instead of 10.1.5 where half-time is specifically mentioned?

10-1-9
Fail to have all players return to the court at approximately the same time following a time-out or intermission.
10.1.9
SITUATION: Following a charged time-out Team B is still with their coach on the sideline when the official sounds the whistle to indicate play will resume. Four players of B return to the court just in time to play defense as A1 attempts an unsuccessful three-pointer. B1 rebounds and throws a long pass to B5 who enters the court just in time to catch the pass.
RULING: A technical foul is immediately charged to Team B for failing to have all players return to the court at approximately the same time following a time-out or intermission. While it is true the entire team may be off the court while the procedure is being used, once a team responds, all players must enter the court at approximately the same time.
COMMENT: The resumption-of-play procedure is in effect to start the second half unless either team is not on the court. In that case regular delay provisions are in force.
Seems appropriate to me.

It appears to me that having all the players return to the court at approximately the same time, and having all the players in the locker room at half-time are two entirely different animals. I won't get personal, but I sure don't follow the logic here. Maybe it's a Venus/Mars thing? Or are you being sarcastic when you say it seems appropriate? I don't get it.
