This seems like it's painting with an unnecessarily broad brush. Consider
the case where a document goes through WGLC and has strong consensus. Then
an issue is raised in IETF LC on one specific aspect of the protocol and
addressed by one of the authors but nobody else speaks up. That doesn't
generally diminish the overall consensus for the document
