I've done a lot of work on consensus over the years and I think
this is fundamentally correct, although I'd amend the last sentence
to something along the lines of "While we may not all agree, those
who disagree can live with it."  That is to say, it's not a binary
question, and sometimes things we disagree with just aren't
showstoppers.  (I'd like to see people take that position more
often - for some reason a lot of people seem to take disagreement
as a reason to block a decision even when it doesn't matter that
much).
