Consensus is not unanimity, but it does indicaate a broad level of support for whatever centers the consensus. For example, a consensus around the idea of pizza as delicious and great food in general lead to massive numbers of pizza joints everywhere on the planet. Even for those few of us who hate it, we still have to admit that its a net good in this world.
We do have to agree that consensus is not the same as exceptional, but consensus ideas are rarely bad. They may be mundane, though.
That's not how consensus works now. How consensus works is everyone has to eat anchovies on their pizza because 51 percent said they want it and don't care about the 49 percent who don't want it.
