A threshold guardian is often just a guy in the slow lane of the story appointing themselves traffic police. Like those truckers who decide to straddle merging lanes to enforce “fairness” when a full capacity zipper merge would in fact be more efficient.

I understand (I think) how it'd be optimal efficiency if robots are driving/coordinating, but with humans I imagine the efficiency is lost to additional disruption in flow. Bandwidth through the choke point is maximized if flow is fastest.
