    Outside of literal mobs, is that true?

    I get that groups of people make stupid decisions, especially committees. However, that seems more like “compromising to pointlessness” and redirecting energy away from useful action, than a “mob mentality”.

      I think you’re describing ‘politicians’ more than people in general… diplomacy is when both sides are disappointed in the result. :)
