Ha, ha! No, that wouldn't be me :-). As much as I like comfort, I like to keep things in perspective. We have enough self-righteous folks out there already...

Thanks for all your advice and sympathy!
I just called United about another matter, and when that matter was concluded, I asked in my sweetest voice: "could you remind me which class I flew last week?" "Sure," she said, "you flew Y class, which is full fare economy".
I thanked her and hanged up, realizing that somebody had corrected the record retroactively. I have the email itinerary plus the boarding pass (hooray for paper!), so I'd be curious to see if anyone claims that I didn't hold a confirmed first/business class seat.
I'll contact United with the details and update you on the compensation (or the trial date...).
