Everyone can make their own choice. The OP chose a restricted ticket, broke the contract, and now wants a do-over. Do-overs end in about 3rd grade for most of us.
The problem (see OP's first post) is not the restricted ticket. The problem is that if the OP doesnt use the 1st leg of the journey, the entire ticket is cancelled (this is not about refunds! or do-overs as you seem to indicate). The OP mentioned in that post that he was ready to buy additional tickets to cover the (new) 1st leg of the journey. But the airline wont allow him to use the rest of ticket....! That's why the contract is not fair.
