Peer influence and common inability.
1) Peer influence. When enough people support one position, some people will support that position even though it's false. For instance, a study showed that a person who watched six people (who knew they were lying) before him or her say an item was blue, he or she said the item was blue even though the item was in fact another color.
2) Common inability. This is the common inability of people to observe and understand what they perceive.
