I believe that G5 is supposed to be read as "no more than one" because of G6. G6 states that a human player cannot simultaneously touch a tote and the chute door, and if there were 2 human players in one human player station, then one cold hold the chute door while the other loads totes in rapid succession. I believe that the GDC intended to have totes loaded into the field in a timely manner, and both G5 and G6 indirectly regulate that. However, in recent years it was up to the alliance as to where to place human players. In 2014 you could have all 3 human players behind the glass or you could spread them out in the zones on the other side of the field. Basically, I think it was supposed to be interpreted as "no more than one", because they want to regulate the loading speed of totes and because they won't force a human into each station.
