Yeah, I can see why you say that, and you might be right, but I'm not entirely sure. I've never seen the results of an Asch study where the dissenter is chastised. And this particular example is even weirder, because the thing they're being chastised for -- dodging the question -- is itself something that we hypothesize is the result of group conformity effects. So... I dunno. As I say, my confidence in this case is low.
