I'm wondering if the translation of this is: 'it's OK in this case because I (mostly) agree with the outcome', which of course will inevitably lead (someday) to: 'if we ever do a non-consensus decision, and I'm on the losing side of that one, I won't be anywhere near as happy that we threw out that particular baby'. Just one more variant of that old adage 'be careful what you wish for'. Noel
