I thought that Delphi was supposed to also identify distinct differing opinions, as well as a consensus if it exists. At least, that is what I have read. The idea would be that the opinions cluster around a number of consensuses. The hope is that these clusters would be much smaller than the number of participants. Is this not correct?
