But what if you can't agree on a decision, but you could live with one partner having the last word?

Say we agree on you taking the 51% side, then I have to think up front if I can live with you winning every time we can't agree.

We'll be agreeing most of the time and if I'm an adult I can live with the occasion when we disagree but you have the last word.

The worst case scenario here is that over time I can't take it and refuse to participate.

That's pretty bad, but the worst case scenario with a 50/50 split, is paralysis thus guaranteed failure.

I am not saying 51/49 is fair, I am saying its wort case failure mode is just a bit better then the 50/50 split worst case failure mode.
