It provides a fairly strong incentive for everyone to help the less able teams to pass inspection early.
That's an old rule.
At Alamo we had a team get their whole Alliance disqualified because a team that didn't pass inspection sent their human player out and he refused to leave the field when he was told to by his partners. We found out afterwards that the student was told by his mentor if he came back to the pit before the match was through he was going to be walking home. Way to to inspire the kids.
