Reply to comment by Adrian_Alucard in TIL that in a series of experiments in the 1950s, Solomon Asch asked a group of actors and a single test subject what the longest line was in a "vision test". The actors would intentionally answer incorrectly, causing the subject to also answer incorrectly, despite it being very obvious. by Amateur_Validator
Thank you!

Why don't they do these experiments with people who exhibit immunity to group-think? Or have they, and the results just aren't publicized?
