Seems like the FA was perfectly reasonable. There was deplaning allowed for one specific reason- people onboard the wrong flight. That's a reason that AA (and most people of common sense) will excuse potential delay of a flight. Your DYKWIA-ish behavior having obviously not acted very quickly if the bag had already been taken off the aircraft in a desire to avoid the indignity of baggage claim, after a FA had already determined the bag needed to be checked and you wanted to second guess her, is not a reason to risk delaying a flight.
Of course if you wanted to deplane and not get on board, you could have done that. "I just wanted to reach out the door of an aircraft." Seriously?


the only unreasonable thing here to me is your comparison of two entirely dissimilar things.
