There was an interesting experiment on tv I saw one time . . . . . . . . 10 university professors sat in a row and were asked a series of simple questions. They were asked to raise their hands if the answer was A or B. Now 9 of the professors were planted there by the tv people and the 10th professor did not know this. The idea was that the 9 professors would all answer correctly but then they would all deliberately answer a queston wrong . . . the 10th professor would invariably follow their lead despite KNOWING he was in the wrong. Peer group pressure is a powerful force.
