Reply to comment by wisle-n-out in Consensus has been systematically wrong about inflation decreasing by Infamous_Sympathy_91

Point taken, but what should we do with that point?

If you consider the point and take corrective action, you risk zigging when the consensus is telling you to zag. Then if you suffer a loss people and perhaps you, yourself, will ask why you went against the consensus. The point is not exactly suggesting you should throw away all consensus, but it's a step in that direction.
