(and I don't routinely know what type of plane I am on. I barely notice if
it has two big turbines at the back or propellers on the wings or if it was
made by Boeing or Airbus, I certainly don't know if it's a 600 or an 800 -
if indeed both/either of those exist)

I'd suggest you don't make assertive statements about 737-800 luggage
bins, in that case.

There is just enough room in the overhead lockers of a Boeing 737-800
to take one piece of hand baggage of the given size for each
passenger if the plane is full leaving a little extra for coats and
things.

Not in the ones that I have been on.
