Not in the argumentative mode today, but would like to see the "rules" posted on the Oneworld website so there is no confusion about access to this lounge.
As has been discussed before the rules are posted on the Oneworld website and say nothing about an international segment. The only explicit requirement is that the departing flight is operated by a Oneworld airline which, as far as we know, AA is - even for domestic flights. Your case is essentially the same as my report from October and people on FT were of the opinion that access should be allowed. The improvement in your case was that they were apologetic!
