It is not that math or science cure groupthink but if you do 2 very different fields you'll get 2 different kinds of groupthink which brings some clarity. If you enter a field when you are more mature you also tend to have more of your own opinions.
And there's something to mastery of a narrow practical/applicable technical skill plus the humility that comes from realizing that it doesn't actually work that well in real life situations. It is not good to focus only on very abstract concepts, building castles in the sky.
