I had one question concerning what I'll call the safety in numbers idea. Basically where you feel more confident or empowered because you are part of a larger group and don't stand out so much. I know I've done things in groups I would never have been able to do on my own. Do you feel this is a factor to the increased fluency a speaker may experience while playing the games? Do the gains in fluency extend into normal everyday experiences that lack the safety in numbers? Thanks for writing a great article.
