I'm a lurker, but I do financial modeling/forecasting for a living.  Since every model called for a hyperactive season, how much do you feel groupthink plays into this?  Meterology has become a business and it may be safer to stay with the pack than it is to venture out on your own.  Its easier to be wrong with the group than to be wrong as an outlier.  Interested to know what people here think.
 
	For the record, I said this season would be 13/8/2 in the contest.  I feel pretty good about those numbers.
