- Kim_Bruning 6y agoThat's not what it means though. It just means that you write a statement in such a way that everyone agrees it is true. "the sky is green" , is obviously not likely to be accepted by many people. 'In his science fiction story foobarbaz written in 2002, John Smith asked: What if people said "The Sky Is Green"?' In this case, we can agree that the story is written, we can look it up in the library. (I made up the title in this case). NPOV and consensus intersect here: Consensus is reached when no-one disagrees, and NPOV is defined as a point of view that no one could possibly disagree with.
