violent agreement

When two people think they are arguing, but fail to realize they actually agree.

Ross: This arena is bigger than the old one.
Morgan: Not much bigger.
Ross: It is bigger.
Morgan: Barely, hardly enough to notice.
Ross: It's definitely bigger!
Morgan: But NOT MUCH bigger!
Chris: Uhhh, guys? You're in violent agreement.

violent agreement

People, especially hackers who all want the same goal, but have totally different ideas how to get there.

When they are so passionate about their way being right that no one is making any headway, then they are in violent agreement.

So my peeps were in violent agreement -- we all totally wanted to go to The Tunnel -- but couldn't decide if we should take a cab or the subway.
