Once again, why not? A 60 half isn't fast. The world record should be around 58flat.
Both Webb and Farah's performances suggest that it's not out of the question. A 60:10 is only equivalent to a 27:20 10k. And like has already been mentioned, look up Kiprop's tempo run pace and then look at the pace for a 60:10.
You need to change your impression of what a good half time is.
Okay, idiot, let's look at what the top milers have run for a half...
Bernard Lagat 62:33
Rui Silva 62:40
Bouabdellah Tahri 63:33
But obviously Kiprop would be under 60:00 with his extra 800 wheels right?
