Sounds like it's close.
I build cars so I don't know what the Islams do with that...
In science they do exactly that: count citations.So ijma takes over the evening land..But even in law the basis of determining the truth by a majority of texts is the
fact of the consensus of the spiritual elect, the ijma. This theory Islamic science
worked out to its logical conclusions. We seek to find the truth, each for
himself, by personal pondering, but the Arabian savant feels for and ascertains
the general conviction of his associates, which cannot err because the mind of
God and the mind of the community are the same. If consensus is found, truth is
established. Ijma is the key of all Early Christian, Jewish, and Persian
Councils, but it is the key, too, of the famous Law of Citations of Valentinian III,
which the law-men have universally ridiculed without in the
least understanding its spiritual foundations.
