That implies the possibility of multiple shorthanded outs in the lineup, perhaps an entire inning.

That's the other thing I thought about last night that made me wonder about the benefit of the rule. A team has 14 players, and wants to bat them all. They could lose five of them and still play shorthanded, but they would give up five outs each time through the line-up. That makes no sense to me.
Yes, I realize the likelihood of that happening is pretty slim. But why couldn't they just leave well enough alone?
