Hi, the authors thesis is that groupthink is enables by cohesive groups. The fact that groupthink happens across industries doesn't really do anything to support or disprove the idea that groupthink is enabled by cohesion. However, the idea that groupthink doesn't happen when there is distrust supports the idea that cohesion enables groupthink.
