No it doesn't. Consensus is at best irrelevant to science, and if anything it's harmful because it reduces the search space for the truth.

It also focuses questions and helps allocate resources to worthwhile areas to pursue.

I doubt any modern science breakthroughs are done by someone who mastered none of the previous consensus to learn where to dig.
