No, definitely not Groupthink. It's open behaviour.
It's really hard to find non-fiction examples of cabals, but when applied to real life I stick with they are almost always emergent behaviour.
I would have thought the Phoebus cartel is an example of a cabal, but it seems Google doesn't agree.
But it's an example of progress kept back from emergent behaviour.
There's a reason there's two memes attached to Phoebus cartel, 1. They stopped long lasting light bulbs, 2. Actually long lasting light bulbs burn to much electricity.
The emergent behaviour from 2. caused 1. which made them more money.
This is not Groupthink.
