Agreement, consensus or compromise? Hilary Rhodes is talking about how to deal with agreements and disagreements: ‘It maybe possible to reach agreement or to reach an agreement about something, or at least come to a consensus: something most people agree with. It maybe possible to find a compromise or compromise: an agreement where people accept less than they wanted at first. Or perhaps the differences are so great that there will just be disagreement. Something in particular disagree about is a disagreement.
