We identify counterexamples to the consensus result given in Semonsen et al. (2018). We resolve the counterexamples by replacing Lemma 5 in the given reference with a novel variation of the Banach fixed-point theorem, which explains both the numerical results in the reference and the counterexample(s) in this note and provides a sufficient condition for consensus in systems with increasing peer-pressure. This work is relevant for other papers that have used the proof technique from Semonsen et al. and establishes the veracity of their claims assuming the new sufficient condition.
