Okay, so the Prisoner is thought provoking, but human nature is such that despite the fact that we regard ourselves as individuals, people like to feel they are right. What's more they feel that the majority view is right. So if there is a puzzle to which someone offers an answer, it is easier to agree with it and "be correct" than to attempt to find a personal and therefore alternative view. But then of course if that "personal" and "alternative" view is contrary to that of the more popular view, it's jumped on by the majority who believe themselves to be in the right!
