I’ve seen John Lewis speak. I don’t care what their reasons were; they made a mistake. Their loss.

I think that the majority in the crowd agrees with you that not hearing him speak was a loss. That doesn’t change that they committed to a process of consensus and stuck with it. There could have been a larger loss to throwing aside a fundamental organizing principle for the benefit gained from hearing him speak.
