You just keep on assuming they're where they aren't.

Let's review:
  1. J pax discovers a Y pax with 3 adjacent seats all to herself and requests swap.
  2. FA agrees (why wouldn't she/he?), and Y pax scoots up front.
  3. Erstwhile J pax takes window seat, against the advice of busybody in the next row.
  4. Another Y pax, presumably from 78B (same class of service, a bit further back), makes a beeline for the aisle seat in ex-J's row.
  5. Ex-J makes a mild fuss, but doesn't press the issue.
  6. FA ignores the situation completely.
  7. Busybody makes a fuss and shames erstwhile 78B passenger back to the bowels of the vessel.
  8. D. DeBoulet claims he wouldn't have put up with Busybody's shenanigans.
  9. Sethb claims D. DeBoulet better plan to be met by LE on arrival, claiming failure to follow FA's instructions (the FA ignored the situation) and theft of services (again, none in evidence, same class of service).

So tell me, what goalposts were moved, and by whom?
7a. DeBoulet claims that J pax arbitrarily did the swap, and sethb made the correction that the FA approved of it.
