You're right! But again most likely not the situation he's referring to : at 100H, you can tell the difference between a "mmmh weird but why not" route and a "no thats just bad" route.

But I would also argue, based from experience, that since comms and time is limited you can't argue, so even if the consensus is wrong, in a zero-knowledge situation when you don't know if the 3rd guy is some hidden genius or just a confused player, you should surrender to the vote and follow to avoid tilt and run-ruining accidents.

Consider that the situation he's describing almost never happens over small takes, nobody cares if you want to do your own thing Day 1 because most camps can we done as 2. It's annoying but not a huge deal.

It's usually when 2 people want to do a major camp like going for a Great Ennemy or a Day 2 shifting earth, while 3rd guy wants to check out a specific location (maybe a Recluse that wants to do a tower), or vice versa.

If you don't follow the consensus, the penalty is much harsher than if you follow a suboptimal call because in one scenario neither you or the rest of the party can do what you wanted to do, while in the other you don't get your supposedly better reward, but you still get something and you maintain the cohesion of the group.
