None of the figure-of-eight TBW constructs were considered perfect according to the numerical grading: the majority of observers found three deviations per fixation.
A consensus classification was made for comparison, choosing the response category the majority of observers used, or in case of an equal split (three difficult cases in the qualitative analysis), the comments on difficulties reported by the observers were used to determine the category for consensus and confirmed by reevaluation by one experienced observer.
This means that even before the selection process has concluded, a vast majority of observers now believe they know the outcome.

The Thrilla in Manila – conceived by Don King, embraced by the dubious regime of President Marcos – reached and maintained such a level of raw intensity that it is regarded by an overwhelming majority of respected observers as the most brutal of all heavyweight title fights.
If the Supreme Court declines to hear the appeal in the case of California's Prop 8 — which, in the opinion of a majority of Court observers, is the likely outcome — it would allow a narrowly drawn yet determinative lower-court ruling in favor of same-sex marriage to stand and immediately restore marriage equality in California.
