People should agree that if there is no consensus reachable within the group of experts, an external advisor (e.g. Bruce Schneier, Ross Anderson) should be consulted. They may not be automatically "right", but such an agreement could re-stablish focus and avoid division or, worse, ending the worthwhile group's activities. Nothing is worse than open source people not reaching consensus and moving on, because nothing will make the enemy of privacy more happy.
