I don't believe it can get more absurd than that. You are essentially accusing people of being intelligent entities, acting in a non-random way and selecting the most beneficial option for them. Do you think we should select random website to book our flights, select random point of sale, dates, departure and arrival airports and then pay? Otherwise it is "website manipulation"?

If you choose to book on wideroe.com instead of united.com, because the fares were lower there — intelligent choice detected, ticket voided!

Or if you select RGN as your departure airport — website manipulation, ticket voided!

If you select a different date than initially searched for — just because the new one is much cheaper — obvious website manipulation, ticket voided!

Yes, usually much less people book on wideroe, of fly from RGN, or fly on e.g. June 8th, or select DKK as their billing currency — but when it is beneficial, obviously more do. So what?!
