I accept this criterion as necessary. And so the repeated AfDs on the most important issues with contradictory results are proof of the system's failure.

The only workable concept of consensus I've ever discovered is stability. If hundreds of people edit a piece of work in good faith over a long period, what changes least over time may be presumed to be there by consensus. However even the most apparently stable elements of a work may be deposed quite easily. The result may be a new consensus or, in other cases, a period of instability where the new version and the old version compete.
