So your contention is that a layman should have known that a law -- which even federal appeals courts can't agree on the meaning of -- meant that declining one mode of transportation mid-journey in favor of waiting for another mode of transportation to become available the next day automatically terminated his original journey in Newark, NJ, rather than leaving him in transit between Utah and Pennsylvania.
That, IMHO, does not pass any sort of "reasonable man" test.

If you understand a contract of carriage it does pass a reasonable man standard. As long as Revell was covered by that contract of carriage with the airline, he was covered by FOPA.
When he missed his bus by his own choice, he nullified that contract of carriage. I am sure given the weather delays, customer service hooked him up with further travel but to be clear the airline was not under any obligation to rebook him nor does that negate the fact he legally forfeited his contract of carriage.
