You mean intentional moderates? The ones trying to find the middle point and attempting to appease both sides, essentially. But accidental moderates aren't doing that and end up with positions across the whole spectrum. As such they're fully exposed to the slings and arrows from both tribes. It's easier and safer to be nestled inside a tribe than to be navigating outside of them. Which requires more courage than either selecting a tribe or trying to appease them. I can't see how PG is incorrect about that, though I think using the term "moderate" makes it unclear and easy to misinterpret.
