Oh shucks, I was just bouncing on from your post!
The truth is of course that it is very hard indeed to go against the majority and most of the time, most of us will go with the majority opinion because we believe we must be wrong in thinking differently. I know: I once hung on to a minority opinion when I was on a jury in a rape trial. It was a horrible experience (well of course, the whole thing was) but I had to stick with my conviction based on the evidence. Not something I ever want to have to go through again though!
