Lufthansa Lounge Access in DTW/Detroit

Hello all.

Due to typical US Airways operations (not the subject of this thread), I was stranded in Detroit today for 4 hours. I thought, as per the rules of access on Lufthansa's page for lounge Access, that as a 1k (Star Gold), and having a flight on US -Scareways, that I should be able to access the Lufthansa Lounge.

When I went to the counter, however, I was denied access. The reason I was told, was that I had to be traveling internationally on a Star Alliance Carrier or Lufthansa.

I went back and re-read the rules, and as per the link:

I should be able to access the lounge with any Star Alliance boarding pass, not just international.

I have been known to misread pages, and the rules are somewhat clear, but I suppose there is room for anyone's take on what it really means...

I have read the thread about all the people giving the IAD lounge a try, but nothing in here about the lounge in DTW.

Am I reading this wrong, or was the desk attendant incorrect, and I should have been allowed in?

Mostly asking for future reference. Thanks in advance.
