So are you saying you believe that if a second person mugs you for more
than a previous mugger did, the first one doesn't count?

No. It's a condition of travel by train that you carry a valid ticket
while doing so. It's a condition of travel by Ryanair that you carry
a valid boarding card while doing so. Where's the issue?

(Admittedly, it's a bit different in that by train the actual proof
that you're entitled to travel *is* the ticket, whereas with Ryanair
it's a record in a database. But I think they're still comparable
situations).
