The way I see it, if you can define a problem in a way that pretty much 
everyone will agree on the problem statement, you have a much easier 
time getting some kind of consensus, than if you try to define the 
problem in a way that is controversial.  The solutions in the two cases 
might be the same or very similar, except that you might never reach a 
solution in the latter case and you might create a lot of unnecessary 
bitterness in the process.
