Question for you: if a group of 1,000 as a whole claims that 2+3=5, and they all agree, is it okay to say that the group’s consensus is that 2+3=5?

If within that same group, 21 of them believe that 1+2=7, but 979 of them believe that 1+2=3, would you focus on the 21 who think 1+2=7, and decide that that’s the group stance, or can you see that the vast majority says the answer is 3?

Further, if it’s directly split, and 500 think 1+2=7 and 500 think 1+2=3, do you lump them all together and say that the group stance is that 1+2=7? Why or why not?
