How could a voting system anywhere be expected to represent truth rather than consensus?

It probably depends if the audience is intelligent and open-minded, but I agree, it will always be biased towards their preconceptions.

  • Even then that's consensus on what the participants believe to be true (whether it's what they believed beforehand or not) - not a method of determining what is actually true.
