I completely disagree with the comparison. Consensus is not about
spending more time finding the right wording that everyone can agree

Consensus is a lot more pragmatic than that. But let's not get into
a long discussion about what consensus is.
I'll rewrite the first (quoted) paragraph as:

of rolling out IPv6, but could get derailed if there's protracted
disagreement
about whether to call it "deployment" or "migration". So put that
