"Consensus" works when you're confident
that
everyone who's involved Has A Clue. When you've got a thousand wolves in
sheep's clothing, and you can't tell who is which (because there are so
bloody many of them! ever tried counting sheep?), that's when
"consensus" falls flat on its face.
It fails when you can no longer assume everyone isn't stupid.
