I said "strong consensus". I didn't say universal agreement.

Stress tensors outnumber pressure tensors by more than ten to one,
according to google:

That's strong enough for me.

What is right or wrong in Physics? It is sometimes quite political... Science is quite
subjective...

Google's page-counting algorithm knows nothing of this type of
politics. It is objective enough for me.

There's plenty of politics in the world, but this is not a good
example of it.
