You're assuming you need a valid airline ticket to travel abroad in Europe, you don't.

It's perfectly possible to travel abroad in Europe without any form of ticket. You can just drive, walk, cycle or sail and many people do regularly.

They’re explicitly not making that point. They’re in fact arguing that “can’t” is a weird choice of word for which the post they’re responding to has drawn an extremely arbitrary line.

If anything, you and (at the moment) all of your siblings are helping explain just how arbitrary the line is.

Is it not possible to drive, walk, cycle or sail from the US to Canada or Mexico?
