There are plenty of questions where the correct answer is extreme. Ironically, you're making a categorical claim that doesn't hold up.
The ideal amount of violent crime is none at all. The ideal amount of deceptive advertising is none at all. The ideal amount of slavery is none at all, despite that there was a time this idea was considered extreme. The ideal amount of sexism is none at all, even if some regressive people today, and virtually everyone historically, would contest this. The list continues.
It's not enough to accuse someone's opinion of being extreme. That's not an argument, it's just expressing a preference for the status quo. Plenty of extreme opinions are perfectly reasonable. Sometimes it can even be abhorrent not to hold an extreme opinion.
