How does the GA know exactly who boarded the plane until s/he has the time to go through all the boarding stubs?
Also, I have never seen the "you must be in the boarding area 15 minutes prior to scheduled departure" enforced. Some small flights running a few minutes late don't even begin boarding until then.
