Just to help you along, Legio, human beings are not a flock animal.
Flocking is a behaviour which helps defend against predators by both spreading the risk (like herd behaviour, it presents many targets which might not be you) and presenting a confusing overall target.
Humans are small group social, and highly territorial animals. Like most of the primates. The benefits of this behaviour have some anti-predation use, but are primarily connected with reproductive effectiveness (long gestation and infancy periods, high genetic investment and so forth).
If you can use the right terminology, your arguments will be less confusing.
