well, if your own voice lacks reason then this is likely the case, but his statement isn't going to apply to everybody. i think it really depends on the person. some people will make the same decisions alone or with others -- good or bad; whereas some people are more likely to go with the status quo when not alone -- good or bad. i know that for myself, when i am "solo" i am much more aware of what's going on around me and what i am doing.
