A bit self-indulgent but I couldn’t resist these two quotes on consensus. I tend to use the latter as my definition!
“Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled.”
Michael Crichton
“A consensus means that everyone agrees to say collectively what no one believes individually. “
Abba Eban
