I'm probably going to be down voted... but if an organization (business or government) is full of people that refuse to sing the same song, how can such an organization accomplish anything?
In politics, we saw what happens when the republicans can't agree with each other and failed to elect a majority leader. We also designate 1 person to control a significant part of our government, not a committee people with opposite view points.
Inconsistent messaging from leadership creates distrust amount the workers/population and prevents people from accomplishing anything.

If the purpose of the organization is based in science, what does it matter if you accomplish anything if you've fired all the scientists and all you have left are the politicians and spokespeople?
And if the acts of Congress that created your organization mandate that science be conducted, is it maybe time to do some soul searching about why no one wants to sing your terrible song?

How can an organization learn, recognize new facts, adapt to change, and synthesize knowledge if everyone is constrained to singing one song?
Most of them. No organization can function well if people don't push back when they see it going off the rails.
Dissent is an important part of good collaborative decision-making. Demanding that everyone "sing the same song" or get out eliminates the ability to adapt, improve, and correct.
How did you come to this weird world-view? People argue, politely, in every meeting I attend at work, in my hobbies, and while gathering at social functions.
I'm coming to realize a significant number of people on this site would commit heinous ethical violations if their boss asked them to. This is just another data point in support of that.
