Depends why one group can't see it.pic.twitter.com/vUHnggNz3c
If all you know is one group sees an elephant in the living room, and another group in the same place at the same time does not, what are the odds there is an elephant in the living room? Answer: Hallucinations add to the scenery. They rarely subtract.https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1196250433112727553 …

True for individuals. For an entire group to NOT see something that is in plain site is rare. You would have defectors.

Cognitive dissonance very often DOES subtract. It doesn't even have to be that important of an event. Hell, watch any football game with a fan of the other team and see how many penalties they refuse to see.

People can see a close play differently. But not an elephant.

you've talked about different 'movies' we see from the same statements. I've literally had to back-track a friend because they missed key words in a statement about a political figure. They selectively removed the words they didn't want to hear and believed the complete opposite.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

If there is a sex offender in the room, and only half the people know he is a sex offender...

Well yeah, but there's also the old poker analogy about the patsy at the game. Or the neophyte investor who think's he's found a sure thing over the market bears. Thing is, whoever has the better information & analysis "typically" ends up with the final enjoyment.

Don’t change the analogy from everyone having complete information to something else.
