Where does this stop. It doesn't and it dilutes the concept of frequent flying and alliances.
I think the main point of N1Rotate's post was to counter YouGeeElWhy's comment that the intra-Middle east flyers are "Fake F Flyers" and getting top lounge access, when people are dropping lots of money on long-haul J and not getting a better lounge. His counter-point was technically on a lot of intra-Middle east routes First is vastly more expensive per KM than long-haul (Imagine paying $1200 for London to Paris RT).
I don't think (correct me if I'm wrong) he was commenting on the lack of overall access to One-World Elites in both the first and business class lounges.
