[edit] "Agree that they disagree"

I removed the following sentence:

"Agreeing to disagree" is a common phrase in English which may be better described as a situation where the parties agree that they disagree.

I (respectfully) disagree with this interpretation, because I would argue that it can apply even when the parties do not "agree to disagree." Two people can both agree that their positions are incompatible, and hence "agree that they disagree," but they won't necessarily compromise by dropping the issue. Maybe a better way to put it is that the phrase means something like "agree that their disagreement is not worthy of continued conflict," but putting that in myself would obviously be original research. \sim Lenoxus " * " 21:47, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
