OK, no real post here.
Just that I came up with the phrase "challenging the tyranny of consensus" in a discussion with a friend this evening, and thought I'd claim it publicly, as it epitomises much of what I stand for.
If I didn't already have "Don't Assume", it would make a great tagline for Disruptive Analysis.

Great tag line. Our standards team officially defines consensus as the "point at which there is no longer any sustained opposition." What a way to do business, wait utill the other side gives up. Now that's tyrannical.
