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.

What point are you trying to make? That people will be religious in order to fit in? Yeah, I'd buy that.
