LOL! I absolutely agree! Back in the 70s, one of our curates had the bright idea of roping off the side aisles and back pews of the lower church to force everyone at daily Mass to sit together. (Some grumpily acceded; others of us just ducked under the ropes to sit where we always did.) It didn't last long. It helped that the pastor thought it was as stupid an idea as I did!
Forced socialization never works. In political systems or church pews.
