Could argue it is the opposite. The more people in a conversation the more you can play social games instead of thinking.

True for humans. AI has the opposite issue — in 1-on-1 there's only one person to impress. Easy to just agree. Add more people and you cant make everyone happy. Thats the whole point

In a n-to-n conversation, it's important to choose which side to be happy. In which side is your boss? :)

Also wait for the correct timing. I still remember 2020 Zoom meetings. A useful tactic was to let everyone discuss the bad options for a while and when the discussion is fading tell the correct one.
