That definition of consensus is the one that most of the world uses.
A key part of it is that all of the participants need to respect the
process enough to be willing to "stand aside" when they disagree with
the result of the group, but believe a decision was made in good faith
for plausible reasons. Blocking objections and appeals are kept for
exceptional situations.
How does one decide when a fight is the good fight and who makes that call
though?
Yes, that is the hard part. I have found that a large part of successful
consensus is trying to listen hard and understand other people's
positions, rather than repeating one's own over and over.
