Some round tables are rounder than others. Some might even be a bit squarer. And others seem to have been designed with obstacles, to guide the conversations.
Look at a typical American panel or round table. There are conversations flowing, opinions, everybody talks to everyone, polite disagreement.
Look at a Portuguese panel in a conference. Everyone sits on their chairs, well-behaved. There are questions from the anchor. There are answers from the panelists. Sequencially, from the left panelist to the right one. No panelist talks directly to another one, God forbids! And, of course, everyone is in agreement.
