Isn't this just the definition of the word extreme? I mean, I get that maybe they're using the word extreme to equal bad (maybe not), but I think this is just the definition of the word.
Why do you think it's bad to have an extreme opinion? I probably have quite a few of extreme opinions. Some wrong, some right, some I cherish, some I dismiss.
- nomel 4y ago> Isn't this just the definition of the word extreme? Absolutely not. From the dictionary: extreme Most remote in any direction; outermost or farthest. Being in or attaining the greatest or highest degree; very intense. Being far beyond the norm: synonym: excessive
- tbrownaw 4y ago> Isn't this just the definition of the word extreme? Nope. Consider, say, this chart of adult male height (no idea if it's actually accurate, that's not really the point): https://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ip4sMYv438c/TRjMhUlQczI/AAAAAAAAABs/wLeI3UlHIPM/s1600/Height%2BDistribution.jpg https://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ip4sMYv438c/TRjMhUlQczI/AAAAAAAAA... The majority are around 5'7" - 5'10". "Extreme" would be the tail ends, say <5'1" or >6'3". There's a fair bit between those, that is neither part of the majority nor extreme.
