Big lies seem self-reinforcing, particularly in public companies. Or to put it another way, nobody is going to charge you with a crime for staying with the herd. That's a passive choice. But when there's a dissenting voice, suddenly you have to make an active decision to ignore them. And that's when the lawsuits start producing emails about who knew what when. End result: People intentionally (if they know better) or unintentionally (if people smarter than them are all saying the same thing) agree with the party line, even in the face of demonstrable facts otherwise.
