Some time back, a new school was being built in the town I was living in. The principal didn't want to decide on colors. So he got up a "color committee." They met and debated ad nauseum. Everyone has a favorite color and apparently designing decor stuff is a real passion to people (and they're all experts too because they picked out the couch at home and it looks good). They met a lot. In the end, they reached a "decision." The decision was to go with FOUR color THEMES, navy, aqua, maroon, and the ever popular mauve. Each quadrant had its own color, I guess so you knew where you were? Over time, the colored student chairs moved and migrated to all points N, S, E, W. Today it looks like colored sprinkles on ice cream. I'm not a big fan of committees. If only the principal would have made a decision.
Not sure this has anything to do with bitcoin wars, we have no principal, but seems bike sheddy.
Cool story!
I'd argue that if they only voted on binary things, one after the other, they could have come to agreement.
e.g. If they voted for one side of the color wheel vs the other, then one quarter of the color wheel vs the other, then one eighth, then one color vs another.
