so, again, then, why do you care if someone boards in the wrong zone?
I didn't have a great answer for this before (perhaps still don't) but was reminded about this while reading yet another thread in the WN forum about seat saving (which WN deliberately stays out of, neither prohibiting people from saving seats nor prohibiting you from taking a seat which someone else is trying to save):

If things are set up in a way to favor/incentivize aggressive and adversarial dbaggery then we shouldn't be surprised to find ourselves eventually surrounded by aggressive and adversarial dbags.
Likewise if people consistently break rules (like boarding out of order) with no repercussions (of whatever proportion, not suggesting the death penalty for boarding out of order) then we shouldn't be surprised to be surrounded by people who ignore rules.
If that's the sort of society we want to live in, ok I guess. Mind you, I also don't want to live in a society where we snoop and inform on each other about every little thing. Maybe there's an in-between though?
Point being, even if you shouldn't care about a particular episode if it doesn't affect you, there might still be a macro/cumulative effect you care about.
OK,
