IMO, this is an oversimplification. Yes, in some cases, the consensus
process hasn't worked. We can all probably cite ecamples.  But in
other cases it does. 

But, (surprise surprise!!), building a consensus is a skill that some
are much better at than others. It's also a skill that can be learned
(at least to some degree).

Seems like improving our consensus building culture by training
chairs, editors, and participants is a concrete thing that could be
done (e.g., by the EDU team) that would produce concrete results.
