Being very young, you probably haven't yet discerned what we were actually discussing. Argument by analogy. Discussing the merits of the concept of "scientific consensus" and that example, just plucked from many shows the value in many cases of consensus.Zero. It is a political concept, not a scientific one.

Hiltlers genocidal eugenics Vs a study on AGW consensus are not reasonable parity.
