My view is, in addition to that, if the contradictions are discovered during the PDP process, consensus can’t be declared until we can address them.
Nope. If the WG decides that it's OK for a proposal to have a contradiction or be confusing then there's a consensus for that PoV. It would of course be bad if a WG reached that conclusion. But if that's what they decide, it shouldn't prevent a consensus declaration. If a WG makes stupid choices, that's initially the WG's problem. And maybe that state of affairs would encourage someone to present a new proposal which will correct those bad decisions. Policy proposals (and policies) don't have to be perfect. The just have to be good enough.
