During my working life I served on a couple of committees whose function was to create and maintain national standards regarding safety in a certain industry. With 15 to 20 members sitting around a table trying to decide how a specific requirement should be met, there would be 15 to 20 different ideas on what the requirement should be. Rarely was there ever a full consensus on the final wording. But finally at least a majority vote. Many times swayed by who could present the most eloquent presentation of their opinion. Just the way it works.
