F21 becomes the "end of the hall" gate. That follows your rule of having the adjacent gates sequential at the end with 19/20/21 all being down there. It also follows my 'rule' of even on one side, odd on the other. And it makes perfect logical sense.
I understand your logic, I just disagree. (As does, apparently, SFO.) Once gates are in such close proximity (with F17 to F22 all within a few feet of each other), I don't think it makes sense for F20 to be next to F22.
