A key difference is that the false consensus effect is the error that I believe everyone else thinks the same way I do. Your example is something closer to the opposite.

Dunno if there is a term of art, but
@hugoreasoning is the person to ask (and has written on similar failings). -
In this case, I'm not sure why it's a failure of collective intelligence, rather than a failure of individual intelligence that has collective effects, no?

Many terms and lots of work from experts in various fields. Concepts I find particularly interesting are information and availability cascades. Related reading: https://twitter.com/whitneyzim/status/917128281908015105?s=21 …https://twitter.com/whitneyzim/status/910623579959697410?s=21 …

I'm not aware of an umbrella term, yet. My impression (which I'm guessing you share) is the state of research is very cross-disciplinary and diverse (moreso than individual cognitive science), but dispersed. In time, I hope.
