I wanted to learn what consensus methods are. Below the desired information i read: "Before generating a consensus, an authority must decide which consensus method to use. To do this, it looks for the highest version number supported by more than 2/3 of the authorities voting. If it supports this method, then it uses it. Otherwise, it falls back to method 1." Let's say more than 2/3 support "14" and one supports "13". The last one wouldn't use "14" because it does not support it, but why would it fall back to "1"? Well it makes sense that some don't use "14" if more than 2/3 only support "13". Therefor "falling back" on "13" is fine. In other words. Why doesn't the one that supports "13" use "13"? The authority could decide that "14" > "13" and safely use "13".
