In practice there

There are few dissputes over consensus these days because generaly it
is defined. Or do you want to see what would happen if a buracrat
passed an admin at 69% or failed them at 81%?
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...

Except of course in this case I know what the percentage is and the
arguments used and in theory at least I am in a position to draw my
own judgement.
