Kelly's Law of Committees

None of us are as dumb as all of us.
A counter to the older, pro-teamwork adage "None of us are as smart as all of us."
Speaks to the risk of lower-level workers' input being useless if upper management gives its own opinion first, due to the tendency of workers to fall in line once the position of the leader (who could fire them for dissent) is known.
The wording above was written on a wall at NASA's Houston complex after the Challenger disaster, as reported by astronaut Mark Kelly, husband of Congresswoman Gabby Giffords. Although the concept has long been known of, once it took the form of an aphorism, it acquired a viral quality.
Niels Bohr and son Aage asked low-level engineer Richard Feynman their questions before asking higher-ups like Oppenheimer, partly to avoid taking up important administrators' time, but also to avoid Kelly's law of committees. Asking the higher-ups first, with lower-level workers present, would have a chilling effect on the latter's offering their own ideas and concerns.

The shared, tacit assumptions that enable communication and cooperation within a group, maintained by collective confirmation. When everyone in a community starts from the same axioms and continually reinforces them through discourse, the axioms become "common ground"—so obvious they need not be stated. This bias is functional: it reduces negotiation costs and enables coordinated action. It is also a prison: it makes the group's foundational premises invisible and unassailable from within.
Confirmation Bias of Common Ground Example: In a corporate meeting, everyone confirms that "shareholder value" is the ultimate goal. This common ground is never debated; it's the platform upon which all other debates happen. An outsider asking "Why maximize shareholder value?" is met with confused silence—they've violated the Confirmation Bias of Common Ground. The group's bias is so deeply shared they've forgotten it's a bias.

The process by which certain beliefs become elevated to the status of "common sense" precisely because they have been confirmed so often, by so many, for so long, that their confirmation is no longer visible as an active process. Common sense feels like direct perception of reality, not a hypothesis, because its confirmation history is buried in cultural memory. This bias hides the contingency of these beliefs, making alternatives seem not just wrong, but insane. Common sense is the ghost of confirmation bias after it has become invisible.
Confirmation Bias of Common Sense Example: In 1700, it was common sense that the Earth was young and that kings ruled by divine right. These weren't beliefs; they were the backdrop of reality. Questioning them was folly. Today, common sense includes human rights and germ theory. Confirmation Bias of Common Sense reveals that yesterday's common sense was just a massively confirmed hypothesis, and today's will be tomorrow's historical curiosity. The bias is in forgetting that all sense was once nonsense.
