Adam, there's no such consensus.  While I liked OBW I had grave doubts after
IGJ, and these were confirmed by RTTW.  I and many others expressed in
detail why we did not think TBSS was successful long ago.  I don't take part
in the ongoing debates about details of TBSS now because I don't like it
enough to be bothered, not because I have changed my mind.
