Even if they do converge (which they do quite frequently in simpler cases), I think the correct model of the situation is to say “I believe X, as does everyone else on my team”, which is a much better statement than “we believe X”, because the phrase “we believe” is usually not straightforwardly interpreted as “everyone on the team believes that X is true” instead it usually means “via a complicated exchange of political capital we have agreed to act as if we all believe X is true”.
