Three people saying they like an article *and no-one saying they
don't* is consensus. Generally, it is only necessary to speak up if
you disagree with something. Yes-men serve little purpose in consensus
driven decision making.

There is a difference between consensus and unanimous assent. One
person objecting, without discussion, does not destroy consensus.
