Phil Anon directs us to the so bad it's good WikiHow.
The entry 'How to Agree With a Majority' is particularly amusing.
Step 3 clearly provides a sufficient but not necessary condition: "If there are two thirds or more people siding with one topic, choose that one." It seems that the author may have been mislead by considering only one, six-person, example: "Make sure you do your math correctly. Three out of six is not a two thirds majority, four out of six is. Five out of six is also a majority."
