we were trying to reject the consensus we heard but if someone has a better way to say this we would be happy to use it

The issue is, if Spencer doesn’t read all documents on the other half of the area, or if Jari doesn’t read all the documents because he delegates some of the review task to a directorate, how would we know what to declare, even if we were personally aware of IPR on a topic? It may of course be that once we read a document later (such as in last call or as part of a final IESG review), you may finally realise that a declaration is necessary. But, as noted, not even that is necessarily always guaranteed.
