This one I would needlepoint into a pillow.

If consensus is the objective, why switch the discussion to process? Is
there a process that "produces" consensus? Where is the bottom line in
"process"? It seems to be more process, not getting to the point of the
issue.

When did process become the subject instead of the subject? (Rhetorical
question.)
