re: #75 Talking Point Detective

It seems that they are accomplishing some goals, but that the “consensus” component of their process presents logistical problems. However, having witnessed the benefits of consensus processes in other settings, I’m not willing to pass absolute judgement of its effectiveness in this context. All things considered, I think there’s something to be said for what they have accomplished. Time will tell what the long-term assessment will be.

I commented a few days ago about how ridiculous I think it is to try to operate under consensus, especially in a large group of people who don’t know each other very well.
