User:Remsense/No one noticed

Consensus exists only as a mental state actually shared among living, breathing editors. If an editor has not noticed something, then they cannot have formed part of a consensus about it. Consensus can come to exist for something as a side effect of its longevity, but all that has actually happened is that living, breathing editors have noticed that a thing exists, and have not objected to it. The longevity itself means nothing: objectionable content added in 2001 can go unnoticed until the sun burns out, and there will never have been any consensus at all for its continued existence.
