IMHO, they should have denied you access and would have been correct in doing so.
Regardless of whether or not he stretched the access rules, I don't understand why taking advantage of the experience is at all an issue. Some people, myself included, are not able to fly Flagship First regularly or even semi-regularly. It's an expensive ticket, which is even more expensive when you don't have your company picking up the bill. The two times I've been, my server actually
encouraged me to order multiple appetizers and mains. I have absolutely no shame in admitting that I stuffed myself both times and happily drank all the LPGS I was offered.
It's truly a fun experience, and I'm glad he was able to indulge in it.
