The reason 70/30 can be a "no" is a core principle of Wikipedia:
Wikipedia operates on consensus, not majority.
Of course, and I've known that since forever. But let's be honest -
that's not how it works, and it's not even how it *could* work.
"Consensus" can only mean everyone agrees - and when the hell that
does that happen? Next to never.
Consensus is a dream, and I think we should start facing up to that
fully and openly.
The minority ruling the majority isn't exactly healthy, either.
