I was thinking that may be the case, but I just found it strange considering the seat I chose isn't even that great a (pair of) seat, nor is it close to the front, which is why I was scratching my head and going 'why would anyone want a mediocre seat, in the middle of the cabin, and next to the scrooge of the holidays' .

So it's safe to say that I should probably wait until the traveler changes his seat?
