That is a non-argument. United has multiple opportunities to validate any of the data they are given. In many instances airline tickets take 30-60 minutes to process before being fully ticketed. Airlines do this under the understanding that the ticket is the finalization of the contract.
At the same time, there are little dinky travel sites that show you the current price of tickets, price trends, average prices, changes in prices..For some reason United doesn't have the technology to alert them they dropped their ticket prices 99% day-over-day (based on the same currency makes the most sense since currencies fluctuate), any they don't notice it for over 5 hours. Negligence plain and simple
