Part of the logic is A5 is still considered a player because he/she was never removed for a substitute. If you feel A5 was sitting out trying to hide that's something different.

The ruling is different following a TO. If A5 comes running back on during play, it's a TF for all five not returning at the same time. The case play you cite is for a situation not involving a timeout.
