I prefer “disputation arena” because “group thinking” is too close to “groupthinking”.
Is there a better term for “techniques for discussing things so that lots of thinking people can give their input and get a single coherent set of probabilities for what are the best possible choices for action” other than “disputation arena” or “group thinking technique”?
I do want to be precise, and “disputation arena” sounded kewl, but whatever.
I don’t know of any other term with that meaning. Making one up wouldn’t really be any worse than using “disputation arena”, I think, because to an excellent first approximation no one knows what “disputation arena” means anyway.
