1+1 < 1

I am familiar with a recent incident. In the debrief, both crew members
basically said, "I was not comfortable with the preceeding events but I went
along because the other guy said nothing." When asked what they would have
done based solely on their perceptions, each said, "I would have abandoned
the approach."

In this case, the normal synergy of 1+1 did not equal 3 but, in fact, it was
1+1 <1.

Where is the research and information on this and where are your thoughts?
