"The truth must lie somewhere in the middle" is one of the most overused and underexamined memes in public discourse this comment is about to collapse upon itself into an irony black hole

Good illustration - binary thinking turns "the truth CAN lie somewhere in the middle" into "the truth MUST lie somewhere in the middle" because there has to be one right answer and one COMPLETELY OPPOSITE AND WRONG answer to everything. Except no, you're just doing it wrong.
