Your random hatred for the term "common sense" is clouding your ability to think logically here. It is not shared by all, because then it wouldn't be "common sense", it'd just be "sense". Common implies that there are varying levels, such as uncommon and rare, and that the level known as common merely has the highest degree of consistency. Anyway, this is horribly off topic, so that's the end of this topic for me.
