the "commmon ground" is middle of the road consensus and applicability

Well, OK. I am a Canadian living presently in the US. The Eastern Canadian "consensus" was always pretty hard to figure out because there were French and English versions, as well as the Newfoundland version. All that differed from the Prairie consensus which was different from the Mountain consensus which was different from the West Coast consensus.

Now in the US I don't have to remind anybody that the Vermont viewpoint (to the extent that it can be described) is different from the Texas viewpoint which is hardly similarly to the Salt Lake City one which does not quite resemble that of Laramie, WY. And so on.

So I would submit that there IS no "Common Ground", there are just "conceptions" of it.

And those conceptions are as varied as the individual "conceivers". And there is no real way to accurately compare those conceptions.

Namaste!
