That will, in any event, give us far more leverage in ascertaining the conditions under which groupthink is more likely to generate negative or positive outcomes.
We may in fact find groupthink and positive outcomes to be far more prevalent than expected if we begin to explore the conditions of the theory in such overlooked cases.
