The middle and compromise are not in and by themselves the right answer. Moderation is often a far superior strategy then extremism, but a little of both is not a superior answer to the question: Is this circuit on or off? The "middle is always right" attitude reminds me of the US media, which will often juxtapose facts and spin, then idly stand by, pointing out that both "extreme" positions are equally valid.
