Buddy, I don’t see any caveat, my issue is with this - “cyclists that needlessly plonk themselves in front of a queue of motor traffic”. Your language says a lot.
You’re missing the whole point of bike boxes/ASLs, I don’t think that they are the greatest thing ever, but if you don’t understand why they are there then see my points above or take your beef up with TFL/DFT/get yourself off a bike forum

ASLs are a bad idea most of the time. If there isn't room alongside then sitting in the queue is the next best option.
Cyclists who needlessly plonk themselves in front of a queue of motor traffic, where that traffic will be largely outpace a cyclist on the upcoming road, aren't helping anyone.
