I could never understand what made them think that getting people to do that would resolve the boredom, lack of interest or whatever other underlying problem there was.

God, I had a somewhat similar experience one time during the Labor Day conference in Chicago last year. Brother Minoru Chen got mad while he was speaking because (I think) people either were not paying attention or didnt enjoy the meetings. He pretty much compared people who were not enjoying or paying attention to an analogy of babies not willing to breathe and becoming blue or something to that extent
