Depends on the definition of "common sense".

I've heard it said that common sense is just what naive people assume is obvious.

I'm not sure about that but I do know that people often disagree on what is and isn't common sense.

I guess this is why English Common Law works. We use precedence to argue about how the words of the law should be interpreted and at least try to flush out ambiguity.
