So instead of consensus building, you see this as more of say, like a semester long class. THat's how you reconcile your beliefs. Interesting.
Of course there are numerous examples of apostles overtly disagreeing with each other. So I hope you will not say that it is impossible for them to disagree with each other and advocate binary opposites as the Lord's will (yes vs no).
I think if you read (or re-read) the DOM biography you would have a better understanding of how the FP and Q12 operate and build consensus. There is a very, very human element to it.
