Consensus really shouldn't be getting interepreted at all, however. To put it another way, policies and guidelines are determined by consensus, so by definition the decisions admins make are consensus. The presumption here is that admins are following policy.

Interpretation is definitely required to decide whether 20 supports, 3 weak supports, 1 vehemently violent oppose, and 6 normal opposes is consensus or not. Or whatever figures you like.
Occasionally also admins overrule consensus, usually with good reason.
