    I just showed you an example of where “centre” as commonly defined is not between left and right, but opposed by both…

    I guess the point is, I think those definitions are deficient, and using them as a guide to understanding what is good or true is probably a flawed methodology. It’s kind of reminiscent of Fox News’ old “fair and balanced” slogan (which never was, but also just missed the point of what journalism is supposed to be about, which is truth).

      The plural of anecdote is not data.

        If your hypothesis is “all swans are white”, and I show you a black swan, do you reject your hypothesis?
