Don't know when ol' Napo said it, but psychologists have studied the collective mind since the mid 20th century or longer.
It was applied to business as early as the 60's. Because of the social science and psychology observations, most engineering companies and many other companies make their employees sign a contract that all ideas for inventions or copyrightable material belongs to the company, and not the individual. I guess you could call it a scientific factoid, since the phenomena cannot be proven thru physics of any kind, but it is a repeatable experiment and phenomena.
If this is an ad, I'm sorry for bringing it up. Oh well, who'd thunk it?
