As we get used to "the system flagged you" situations, people get step by step removed from recourse to unfair rulings. If I have to spell it out further for you, maybe you won't see a problem until you are personally affected. I understand, it's a fairly common posture.

So the slippery slope fallacy?

The unfairness here came with selling someone a ticket to a venue they are prohibited from accessing. Solve that problem and the rest of the "unfairness" goes away.

… And if you are incapable of responding to the argument without snarky running commentary, kindly refrain from replying.

Not quite. I'm not arguing that a small choice will inevitably lead to disaster. I have seen four decades of civil rights erosion due to some system or another (war on drugs! war on terror!) and now we are automating surveillance and enforcement.

If you don't see the big picture, it's not my place to enlighten you. But oh the irony of butting into a conversation you don't like to complain about participating in it. lol
