“An individual analyst also can brainstorm to produce a wider range of ideas than a group might generate, without regard for other analysts’ egos, opinions, or objections.

Moreover, an individual may have difficulty breaking free of his or her cognitive biases without the benefit of a diverse group.” — Central Intelligence Agency
