Even if you were willing to move this can totally slow down takeoff when they do the count.
I see this all the time, and most of the time the people in question just give the blank stare as if they can't understand that they're the person being spoken to or don't understand what's being said. It's highly obnoxious. Your boarding pass has a seat number on it clearly indicated.
Unless you have permission to change seats from a flight attendant, IMO, should be an immediate deplane and you lose your seat. I'll accept the excuse of "I misread the row" if you're in 6C instead of 7C, because that happens, but then you return to your seat immediately.
I switch seats all the time - I ask a flight attendant if I can do so, they say "as soon as we're in the air I'll see what I can do", and they either can or can't make it happen. That's how it should work.
