[Avodah] rolling a sefer torah

[Joel Rich]

Interesting magen avraham (O”C 144:7) concerning rolling a sefer torah if
you took out the wrong one. Even though kavod (honor) hatzibur would say to
take out the torah which is already at the right spot rather than roll the
one you took out to the right spot, the MA says (my rough translation) “in
a beit knesset which has less people (than the beit mikdash on yom kippur)
mistama (possibly, likely, apparently?) they waive their honor. How do you
understand this mistama? Is it a best estimate of what survey would reveal?
(if so why not just ask?), a projection of what chazal assume people would
do if they knew what chazal wanted of them? A descriptive explanation
rather than a prescriptive case? Something else?
