Their long, wordy (some have the word 'except' in them), not ez to remember and not anymore important than any other rule in the rb.

Not all of the 20 statements are bad, but most of them could be removed and not be missed.
You are really over thinking it. The Fundamentals are ways to help you understand common or basic rules. For example #5 says you can never have a travel during a jump ball, throw-in or free throw. The statement takes different areas of the rules and makes a general and specific true statement. These are not things you are going to always remember, but might help you understand several areas of the rules when you read them.

Peace
