Consensus (noun): general agreement
” “But, in our crowdsourcing experiment, we found that if you ask a large enough number of people to pick between two pictures [and choose] which one is more beautiful or which one makes them happier, consensus usually emerges.””
When I first encountered the word consensus I tried brainstorming its definition. At first I thought it meant someone’s opinions because a few words before states, “which one makes them happier.” However, I wanted to be sure so I searched consensus up on Merriam-Webster. Consensus correct definition is a general agreement. The passage is basically stating that an agreement usually occur at the end of the experiment.
