You make an excellent point, and I appreciate that you explained. I guess this is one of those words I'd never heard used in any other fashion than to indicate group agreement, so I could not see how there could be a consensus as I know it. So my confidence in my knowledge was somewhat misplaced. A good thing to be reminded of.
In making my point with confidence, though, I was doing so with the knowledge that I did not agree, and that there are others who did not agree. Given my understanding of the definition, that fails to meet it.
Anyway, I never say I'm never wrong. I challenge the statements of fact that others make if I believe they are wrong. Certainly anyone is entitled to do so with me.
