When group consensus forms quickly, assign one person the role of constructing the strongest case against the consensus before finalizing decisions, as naive realism operates at group level and suppresses dissent systematically.
Why This Is a Principle
This principle follows from Groups exert constant pressure to align your thinking… (group pressure toward consensus), Groups that prioritize consensus over accuracy suppress… (groupthink), and Perception as Predictive Construction (perception as construction). It prescribes structural dissent as a correction for group-level naive realism where everyone assumes the group's shared construction is objective reality.
