    Platt and all:

    dmb described "groupthink" as:
    "forced conformity brought about by the coercive tactics of political
    tyrannts".

    Platt thinks this is different from:
    "The capacity for group pressure to damage the mental efficiency,
    reality testing, and moral judgment of decision-making groups

    dmb says:
    Especially when we consider all the times you've invoked the names of Stalin
    and Hitler on this matter, it seems very clear to me that this is exactly
    what you mean by Groupthink, and it is perfectly consistent with the
    "pressure" that does "damage" to one's ability to make independent
    "judgements". Sure, I put it in my own words, but the idea is the same.
