RE: Two chords - a question

Yes, this was discussed at some length not too long ago, but since I
already 
see a mini-consensus buildling on this go-round, I'll add my vote to it
with 
an analogy which perhaps makes sense.  When it is time to form sets for
a 
square-formation dance, we don't form a (more common) longwise set, and
then move 
into a square on a second chord.  So why not always form the set
according to 
the needs for the outset of the actual dancing?  A number of factors go
into 
the formation of the set...is it longwise or square, perhaps even a
triangle, 
and how many couples per set?...so why not who's on which side as well?
