This shows an example of dangers of groupthink. This is a psychological phenomenon in which everyone in a group goes along with a choice without critical evaluation of alternate ideas or standpoints. The need for harmony or conformity is so strong that no one dares to say, “Wait a minute, this may not be such a good idea.”
