What does informed consensus mean? [on hold]












1














I came across the phrase informed consensus while watching Peaky blinders TV series and wondering what does that mean?
Here's a short dialog:



- He researches his enemies that's why he's been chosen
- Chosen by whom?
- By an informed consensus.

    It's clearly punning on the common phrase "informed consent" (important to human research, medical practice, etc.), but I must admit that I don't get the joke. (Maybe it will make more sense to someone who knows something about the show.)

    I would bet it's either a pun or malapropism written by the scriptwriiter. Informed consent is a common term.

    Try google: my first hit gave this : "Another possible model for language standardization is an informal consensus model, where a small but influential body of people (poets, intellectuals, writers) come to agree on the choice of a norm without any formal decision-making whatsoever. "
