| − | ::The constant BM2 murmuring is the noise of the swarm, a subtle way of communication needed to arrange for a mild non-hierarchical content free coordination, in which you basically find out who is normal and who is not. Normal people are lonely but not alone, they merge into groups, offer readiness to think into all directions without defending anything. People who have a distinct view are bad in a swarm - one has experienced that they took the wrong way and all followed. Ideal people for the swarm socialise and have no specific opinions. You need them to think about what the teacher would like to hear. You follow those who make the best guesses and leave them in a cooridnate sudden swarm-movement if you feel they have taken the wrong direction, and if you feel the entire swarm might think so. If they are swarm people they will follow the swarm.

| − | ::The group debate is incoherent, it runs through all options, tests them as equally likely, chooses the most likely only to leave it at the slightest sign that it might have been the wrong way.
