Mass adoption of "breakout groups" came from a good impulse to break up a "one to many" dynamic-- give bottom-up consensus building a chance.
They end up being hated because they don't really do this 90% of the time.
Saying you want to "build bottom up consensus" & really being open to the change and challenges it can produce are very separate things.
What breakout groups *can* do even with poorly implemented is fill up a schedule with "activity" -- so they are here to stay.
