This sounds a bit (but not entirely) like a idea called the 'Hundredth Monkey phenomenon'. Don't know if you remember it, but I think a book was written about it too.

Unfortunately, as far as I am aware, the actual hundredth monkey case that is cited was false. Nevertheless, the phrase is still with us.

It's the closest thing I can think of to your case.
