Reply #63: Actually, compromise is almost always an example of the golden mean fallacy.

[bobdawg]

It is a logical fallacy recognized since at least the ancient Greeks.

1. Position A and B are two extreme positions.
2. C is a position that rests in the middle between A and B.
3. Therefore C is the correct position.

I say you owe me $1,000,000.
You say you owe me nothing.
Therefore the best solution is for you to pay me $500,000.

Compromise frequently results in an awful situation.
