Having flown next to/between two fat people, it doesn't matter that he/she can put the arms down. What matters is that once they get into the seat, all that fat rolls over onto you and that doesn't make for a comfortable flight. Then, when they go to sleep and roll over onto your shoulder, it's even worse, especially when the fat takes over and they start snoring with their bad breath on you.
