  Asch conformity experiments - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Asch conformity experiments were a series of studies that starkly demonstrated the power of conformity in groups.
Experimenters led by Solomon Asch asked students to participate in a "vision test." In reality, all but one of the participants were confederates of the experimenter, and the study was really about how the remaining student would react to the confederates' behavior.
One difference between the Asch conformity experiments and the (also famous in social psychology) Milgram experiment noted by Milgram is that subjects in these studies attributed themselves and their own "poor eyesight" and misjudgment, while those in the Milgram experiment blamed the experimenter in explaining their behavior.

 Moses Asch & Smithsonian/Folkways
Asch may not have been "a businessman," but he was an ideal person to run Folkways Records which, in its own way, was not really "a business." Folkways Records was the means by which Asch strived to record and preserve the culture and heritage of as many peoples and societies as he possibly could.
In spite of Asch's desire that all Folkways recordings be kept in print, however, it looked for a while as though at least one item had dropped through the cracks.
Asch's method of dealing with this problem was to simply release whatever he wanted and to get indignant when anyone complained.

Whilst there is no doubt much truth in that, it overlooks the rôle played by sheer luck in the struggle for survival and cannot in itself provide justification for the claim that every characteristic of a surviving organism must have contributed to its success.
