A starting point for discussion
The idea
The authors note that people may still hold different views after a discussion. So a group may agree on some points without reaching one settled position.
Place in the reasoning
AI assessment · Connected to reasoning
The authors explicitly allow for continuing differences and partial rather than total consensus.

What this means and why it matters
What this means

Conditions & assumptions
