I can see that but at the same time I also recognize that many people feel otherwise (see gate lice/boarding scrum). Either way its a personal preference and neither option, boarding as soon as you can or waiting until the end of boarding, is an invalid choice. A passengers personal preference for when to board, so as long as they choose a time that's in compliance with the policies that AA and the customer agree to w/r/t CoC, is also not really relevant to the topic at hand IMO.
