And to be fair, dead-center centrism IS kind of an extreme position. But this gets into weird territory of just how one even defines a position, especially since normal people have views that don't line up nicely with any sort of position. One could say that having the same position on every issue is &quot;extreme&quot; when describing it this way, since no normal person is like that."}
