To defend the humans here, I could see myself thinking
"Crap, if I don't say 1+1=3, these other humans will beat me up. I better lie to conform, and at the first opportunity I'm out of here"
So it is hard to conclude from the Asch experiment that the person who says 1+1=3 actually believes 1+1=3 or sees temporary conformity as an escape route.
