An individual cannot exhibit groupthink without a group. They also can't have in-group bias without a group. Both important properties in group dynamics.

Roles and positions within a group are similar to the "crystal example" as well, with groups forming particular patterns under specific pressures, patterns impossible to the individual (e.g. an individual is not a "protest march" or a political party).
