Lack of clear definitions in the book to blame for this. I would've gone with the TO's on the team sheet to define the Technical Area (there could be unauthorized people in the TA for example, but we can't sanction them), but by not defining the terms properly, we have to guess. Even DE is winging it with an interpretation. It's not a 'fact' extracted from the book
I suppose this does kind of make sense in a way. We are responsible for the safety of the players in a match - that remains true even if we're not adjacent to or looking directly at a player.
Similarly, the senior nominated coach is responsible for the behaviour of his coaching staff and bench - just because he's not stood next to them at the time and actively "monitoring" their behaviour, it doesn't change that responsibility.
