Basically, FV was talking about late 1800’s high society, where you could actually expect everyone to wait for the host to act and then have others follow suit. Not so much in today’s relatively egalitarian and socially lax society. So I think FV, blinded by his cause as he is, wouldn’t really accept that and would just blame it on the declining morals of the modern world and cite it as a reason why you need to obey an omnipotent force such as himself, even though, at least in the metaphor, there was no problem doing it another way.

The description of a character who is ignorant and thus doesn't follow the norms and doesn't realize what is truly around him or her is Pocoloco's character and the reason for his existence.
