there have been a couple of different instances, but specifically, we know they have a sense of self preservation because when they were clearing out the few after lizzy arrived, one dodged and hid behind a desk. also the tommy zombie tried to flee after he turned. i think as a horde they have always always sucumbed to a group think, but they can be controlled. and if pin stripes is able smart enough to pretend to be paul and play dead, then he should be smart enough to realize when throwing his army at a well fortified enemy is not going to do the trick, and strategize a better way of getting to them.
