Re: OODL: Unanimity and consensus are not equivalent

[Rob Cozens]

>Anthony: So, yes it is a synonym for unamity.

I'll see your Merriam-Webster's and raise a Funk & Waganalls:

"unanimous: ... showing or resulting from the assent of all concerned"

[emphasis mine]

If you want to tell me "consensus" is a synonym for unanimity, OK.

If you and Uli want to tell me every partner has a veto power and no one is a dictator but some person appointed unanimously by the partners can make decisions in spite of another partner's objections, OK.

The US sold weapons to Iran and Iran returned hostages to the US; but it wasn't arms for hostages either....right?
