Their claim is that your tests are invalid because your have MULTIPLE Apache processing swapping the connections around, so they are NOT idle for 10 seconds. To prove them wrong, you would need to: Set up a dev server on a private network with Apache having ONE, and ONLY ONE, child. Set the timeout to 10 seconds. Surf to a test page. Wait 10 seconds. See if the connection goes away. If anybody else on the planet (or off-planet, for that matter, assuming our astronauts have time to surf to your site) can surf to the site and keep the connection "alive" by having Apache re-use it, then it's going to stay alive. -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
