Honestly, if the answers are all correct and we've been going around in circles since like forever, then having a small team decide that one of these correct answers is now the preferred one and we're going with it (after listening to all the arguments) hardly seems unfair to me. -- To the thief who stole my anti-depressants: I hope you're happy -- seen somewhere on the Internet on a photo of a billboard
