It might have made sense, yes. However that isn't my point.
At a time when the OP has focused the debate very well on BA's unacceptable behaviour, and has the support of most other posters, I don't think it makes sense to divert into a 'someone else should have been downgraded to accommodate me' style loop.
Keep the focus on getting redress from the airline I would suggest.
