One way that Delphi and other similar methods try to avoid Group Think
is by using anonymity.  In short, low status right-thinkers can stand up to
higher status wrong-thinkers because it is harder to know exactly who
they are.

Of course, another important point is that our current decision making and
discussion techniques are very susceptible to Group Think.  New methods
might try to reduce the tendency, but could still be useful even if
they were no worse.
