The proponents of the plan refuse to estimate it's cost. I don't think it's unreasonable or unexpected to use opponent's estimates when they are the only estimates available. The (left-leaning) website factcheck.org notes that the green new deal is likely to incorporate a Medicare-for-all program with a pricetag around $36 trillion, so the order of magnitude is at least correct.
So, I think your "groupthink" descriptor is a off base. I'd also note that you didn't respond to the substance of my comment (seriously - replace the $50 to $100 trillion in my comment with $20 trillion - does it make a difference to my argument??) but instead frothed at a widely cited estimate without providing another estimate that you saw as more reliable.
