Why should I accept their resoning over that of someone else? You see
the problem.
I see the problem in *theory* but not in *practice*. In practice there
are very few disputes over consensus. The people who close these
discussions tend to be clueful and have been around a while. They're
not just random people - they deserve some respect.
When your friend says "hey I asked around and everyone wants to go
bowling", do you say "what do you mean, 'everyone'? Did you get at
least 75%?" No, you accept that they're not out to screw you over, and
a good result will be achieved...
