Group think

This is a situation/problem that applies to many groups of 'experts', I have no doubt...not least those who consider themselves the experts in climate change.
I also was fairly careful not to go out on a limb, which basically meant following the herd of other economists. None of those economists, I am satisfied, knew more than I did, so it is a mystery how particular consensuses emerged. I suppose it was through some collective process of osmosis.
