True enough.
The issue would be the amount of arguing by the passenger once the FA has declined. It's generally best to avoid confrontations with flight crew. I'm not defending the FA here, but there are places it's fine to assert your rights with cs personnel, and places it's not. Onboard an aircraft being a "not."
