Sounds a lot like the Asch experiments.

Sometimes, the challenge is to get people to be willing to listen or to understand that they need to learn something. Until that is achieved, efforts to educate are fruitless. As a mentor, you may have had students telling you that you are wrong about something you have done for twice as long as they have been alive
Thanks for the link to the Asch experiments. Fascinating.
