There's little merits arguing I've made it/not made it to flights that closed at T-0/-5/-20, as they could work on your favor or against.

They could do a better job in waiting for a group of late comers at T-0 but what if there are 20 pax on the plane waiting to catch a tight connection and they close at T-0 and lose their position in line for takeoff?
Agreed, but they didn't even wait until T-10 before closing the door. I thought that was AA policy?
