I hope this was just a brain fart, and you weren't really arguing that 
majority == consensus.

If we have 7 editors discussing an article, and 4 think Jon's right and 
3 think Jon's wrong (or vice versa), that could well, depending on the 
circs, be described as "a bloody row", but not "consensus".


Cheers,
