Let's not split hairs here, yes, technically they shouldn't swap people around but let's face it, if it's one passenger and they're both adults, they're both recorded at the same standard weight anyway so it makes absolutely ZERO difference to the weight and balance. Years ago, a QF 747 arrived in MEL from SYD and two pallets had been loaded in opposite positions in error, in LMC terms it was a 10 tonne error, in reality, the error was the difference in weight of what was stated and what was reality so, really, about 2-3t. The Captain barely noticed it but asked for it to be investigated. One passenger swapping with another, less effect than the drinks trolley rolling down the aisle.
