Read the MN DOT document. Still can't see it? Read again.

Didn't you just quote someone complaining about "ideal scenarios"? Because, in case you haven't noticed, now you are talking completely idealized scenarios, which do not take into account things like backups interfering with traffic on intersections well before the merge zone, or drivers in the through lane being pissed because instead of letting one vehicle to merge in front of them in one point they have to deal with several early mergers and then a proper late merger.

Are they not from a worthy enough source for you?

I think you need to go back and read our conversation again.
Seriously,
EOT. This is not going anywhere.
Maybe your way works bettter in your area. Different regions/states not only may have slightly different regulations, but also different sets of unwritten customs develop. Which is apparent from your familiarity with the "picture 3" situation which I only see on Russian dashcam videos.
So drive your way, and I'll drive my way because it works fine here. We'll probably never meet on the road.
And if we do, and if you act like an asshole by intentionally blocking the merge lane to prevent late mergers (as you declared in the very beginning that you like to do), I will (as I declared) back off because that's how I deal with assholes on the road.
