" Three-quarters of the subjects in Asch's experiment gave a "conforming" answer at least once. A third of the subjects conformed more than half the time.
Get it so far? People tend to defer to what the herd thinks.

But here's the good news:

Adding a single dissenter - just one other person who gives the correct answer, or even an incorrect answer that's different from the group's incorrect answer - reduces conformity very sharply, down to 5-10%.
Bottom line: Each person's voice has the power to snap entire groups out of their coma of irrational group-think."

Unfortunetly voices can be silenced. Can't say much while waterboarding.
