I can.  And we have in the past.

We prefer if people can be convinced to, at least, give up their objections
after a good debate (or even support the common goal, or help shape the
text into something that achieves the original goal but takes the issues
raised into account).  

This does not always work out - sometimes, people will not agree, period.

In that case, we have to balance supporting arguments, opposing arguments,
and whether they have been answered properly.  If the result of that is
"the main argument brought up against the proposal is that it is actually
doing what it is supposed to do" we can happily go forward.

See also RFC 7282 - we do not hum, but the model described (especially
for *rough* consensus, and a loud minority trying to disturb process)
describes what we do quite well.
