Yes, the group-think effect varies from what I have heard (I am not an academic myself, just the daughter of one). But I think it's fair to regard tenure, like any other guild-like apprentice/journeyman/master structure (only doctors have a better, I think), as being a large structural factor inclining the whole system to group-think. That, and publish-or-perish in peer-reviewed journals.
