Alan Forrester writes about common preferences at his blog: Compromise is sometimes used to mean that both of the people involved in the disagreement end up adopting an idea they deem worse than their original preference. This is stupid for two reasons. First, it doesn’t solve problems that the people involved have with the new solution. Second, whatever solution they end up adopting is going to be awful on its own terms because it is not optimised to solve any particular problem.

Does it always involve an element of sacrifice or not? Is that okay?
