EDIT: The irrelevant provision cited in Rule 25 concerning W&B does not serve as an additional basis for UA to deny boarding for passengers.
Now you are quoting my reply to another poster and not the similar (but different) one to you right after. I can understand your reasoning for not wanting to quote my reply to you.

Once again, you won't be honest and admit what your search found about "weight/balance" was incongruous with your position to the point of even chiding me about my statement (which was, in fact, correct). Instead, you decided to deflect with an irrelevant question.

You have been harping about when boarding occurs and I was giving you just one example of when a passenger could be denied boarding involuntarily after the door was initially closed for weight/balance restrictions and its characterization under the COC as constituting "an oversold flight".

And yet you now want to yell that my "interpretation is wrong" 3x.
