I hear it as the voice of (occasionally bitter) experience. It could easily be my own voice as well. I have found in my own limited experience that communities who pay attention to minority voices to be far better at producing real consensus. I have also found that people with a majority-rules opinion often change their opinion to minority-must-be-heard when they are no longer in the majority. That matches what Joe said pretty closely.
His phrasing might not be what I would use, but his experience seems to match mine quite closely. I also really don't see how a valid statement of long experience is FUD. I certainly see a healthy dose of FUD in my day job from competitors and Joe's statement is pretty different.
