That's not a distinction that I think holds water. If I go ahead and

whatever reasons were given in the discussion, the effect is the same

else).
I'd expect a reasonable amount of friction to be generated if I went
ahead and ignored a couple of -1s in a mail thread and committed the
code anyway. You don't think that would happen?
No.
Are you saying that if during the discussion of some topic some folks
express disagreement via -1 and then even if the decision is to go ahead
(via consensus) but then when the commit comes the dissenters will -1 the
commit (thereby effecting a veto)?? I don't see that happening here .. but
if it is then we definitely have major problems community-wise.
Please point to some cases where this has happened so we can immediately
work towards correcting this.
Thanks for pursuing with this topic; we need to be a proper, open,
welcoming community and if there are mistakes made (including (and
probably) by me) I'd like to work towards correcting them immediately.
