Talk:Unanimity

Cite needed[edit]

"However, there is considerable and difficult-to-controvert evidence that most unanimous decisions are a sign of coercion, fear, undue persuasive power or eloquence, inability to comprehend alternatives, or plain impatience with the process of debate." Perhaps the article could link to some of this "considerable and difficult-to-controvert evidence"? --Amazon10x 03:11, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I removed it; it's been half a year now and it was still unsourced. Besides, if true, does that means the majority of American jury verdicts are bull? --DMAJohnson 02:02, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A question: Does 'unanimity' require that everyone agree or just require that no-one disagrees ? In other words, if someone abstains, can the decision still be unanimous ? SimonHolzman 22:06, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Unanimity is a real word!"

I know that, I put it in quotes to make it easier to see that unanimity was the concept I was referring to... although on re-reading it I see that the quotes were not really needed. Oh well, I tend to go with the principle that grammer facilitates communication rather than the other way around. Thus, if I need to use poor grammer to make myself understood better, I don't feel a whole lot of shame !

By the way, who are you quoting ? ;)SimonHolzman (talk) 18:46, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What does unanimous mean in terms of percentage?[edit]

Does unanimous explicitly mean "100%" support? Are there circumstances where a supermajority is considered unanimous? 68.50.82.21 (talk) 20:04, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
