Yay!

Voting on complex topics tends to get in the way of consensual
incremental efforts to understand and resolve things.

Compare Guix's position on LLM [1] that will have to be reworked when
one person disagreed and ~50 agreed [2] with the proposal.  One could
see that as deeply problematic from a democratic point of view.  Or
dedeply inspirational from a consensual viewpoint.  Both is correct.
