I think it time to share Shields’ Slippery Slope Axiom (although I’m sure someone else has said this before):
The truth lies half way down the slippery slope.
Many set off down the slope and slide to the bottom. Many remain at the top seeking to avoid the slope having seen too many slide to the bottom. Few brave souls set off down the slope and struggle to remain neither near the bottom nor the top, viewed by those at both extremities as being in the wrong.
