I agree with everything you wrote... point of my post was a counterpoint to the comments that one should challenge the FA's authority to tell you to move. I'm suggesting that one think about it for a few minutes if it is REALLY worth it in whatever particular situation. In situations like this, you can always write to AA after the fact about the incident versus having a confrontation with someone who: 1) can have you removed from the flight, 2) is feeding/providing beverages to you, or 3) has the potential for making the next few hours miserable. In both the OP's and the other one w/r/t the O2 masks, barring other factors, I'd have done as told and written AA later realizing that the fight was either not worth having at the time and/or I was ultimately going to lose the fight regardless of being right.
