I mean, one thing that we've known thanks to Worldcafe, Conversationcafe, and even Gurteen's KM Cafe who bring it up on their sites is that the British Parliament banned coffeehouses in the 1700's as hotbeds of sedition (too much thinking and conversation, clearly).

So it seems that the researchers are just now catching up to what the British Parliment knew over 300 years ago, and what many KM'ers have known for sometime....coffee gatherings seem to spark open-minded conversation. Lost knowledge....found again.
