the safest way to create a zipper merge where one doesn't exist is to pace the full lane until the unfilled lane ends.
This cannot be repeated enough. If you want zipper merges, this is the way to get them. Rushing to the end to cut the line is perpetuating the problem, not solving it.

Similar good analogy:
The difference between Java and Javascript?
It's like the difference between a car, and a carpet.
Found the jerk who likes to cut the line.
Edit: If everyone force zippered it would simply be a proper zipper merge. You are objecting to the actual solution you are proposing. The only reason to get mad at forced zippering is if you like to cut the line.
I get that there are those who don't understand why the forced zipper makes everything faster but it does. You have to wait slightly less than if everyone zipper merged because already merged traffic passes through a single lane faster than traffic that merges as it passes through. By staying in your lane you are helping speed things up because traffic doesn't spread out so much since you and the car next to you can overlap and you keep people from jamming into an already established zipper pattern making things orderly, safe and predictable.

It's not much, but every little bit helps.
Just use the forced zipper maneuver. As everyone in front of you early merges, pick a car next to you that you will merge in behind. Let all the people who want to early merge in front of you do their thing and you just hang out with the front of your car right off the back bumper of whoever you will merge behind. Nobody can do the bad thing and speed around the early mergers and jam in at the last minute because you have them blocked behind you. Suddenly, as all the merging is done in front of you things speed up because it's just a straight line of cars and as cars empty faster, space frees up and you can drift in and do a graceful fast zipper merge at the end. Everyone goes faster, except the people trying to cut the line who suddenly can't.

Brains let us communicate to create strategies to keep us alive. There is a difference between being able to think and being absorbed in thought. The deep thinking is something we have learned to foster.
