Argument To Moderation

Asserting that given any two positions, there exists a compromise between them that must be correct.

Examples:

  • So you are saying your car is worth $20k. I think it is worth $1, so let’s just compromise and say it is worth $10k. (Assuming the car is worth $20k)

Synonyms: appeal to moderation, middle ground, false compromise, gray fallacy, golden mean fallacy, fallacy of the mean, splitting the difference
