I agree it sounds implausible. I asked several clarifying questions when the story was told to me. This is only how it was told to me so I can't guarantee it being 100% accurate (Well it is to the person who told me the story, but we know that there is always more than one side to the story).
The theory was that he got confused when communicating with the table about remaining timeouts and heard something about remaining 30 second timeouts and mistakenly applied that on this timeout.
