Completely untrue. There are currently only 3 human-rated spacecraft docked to the ISS and none of them are set aside as some sort of emergency capsule. There's no trickery here. The number of astronauts on board is equal to the number of seats available for them to ride back home in. The only reason they aren't stranded is because Starliner is still fully capable of undocking and taking them home whenever necessary. If it wasn't, then they would actually be stranded with no alternative way back beyond straping them to the floor of Dragon.
Getting strapped to the floor of a Dragon sounds like a great plot for a space thriller
Almost happened to Frank Rubio when the radiator blew on his ride.
Wow, that's a great fucking read!
