"consensus" means "general agreement", not "unanimous agreement".  To 
underscore this point, the IETF uses the term "rough consensus".

For any interesting topic, there will always be some dissent.  Hence, the 
criterion you cited guarantees that you will always vote no.

That's not very helpful, if there is any interest in making progress.
