How is that analogy wrong? Both in terms of the technical implementation and the subjective user experience, you're making separate requests for a document each time.
Analogies are always going to be imperfect, but I can't see the argument that the "separate request" analogy is any worse than yours, let alone "wrong".

And even in that case you're still not allowed to look at other people's documents. Like it doesn't matter that they're right in front of you, you still haven't been given authorization.
A better analogy would you asking for your files, and then the secretary taking you to a filing cabinet containing everyone's files right there with yours. You don't have to lie about who you are, you can just look at other files because they're right there in the place that you were just given access to.
