“Some people say light is waves, and some say it’s particles, so I bet light is some in-between thing that’s both wave and particle depending on how you look at it. Am I right?” “YES, BUT YOU SHOULDN’T BE!”

Middle implies middle. If you are leaning towards a side, then you’re side-leaning. You can’t have your cake and eat it too, centrist, that’s what everyone makes fun of ya’ll for.
It’s “somewhere in the middle”. You are putting to much emphasis on “middle” and not enough of “somewhere”.
Somewhere in the middle means there’s a middle and side-leaning, yes.
This is why people hate pedants. You’re technically correct, it’s just a useless distinction that only exists to make you feel better.
That’s exactly how I feel about centrists. Curious.
You seem nice.
Somewhere in the middle means it doesn’t have to be dead center - it just has be between the two extremes and not exactly one of the extremes. To put it in numbers, somewhere in the middle between 0 and 1 is not just 0.5. It can also be 0.4. Or 0.7. Or 0.00000000001.
If i have a very plain boring hamburger. Bun cheese patty bun, are the cheese and patty in the middle? Middle doesnt always mean center, center doesnt always mean exactly in the center between 2 points either because thats why the term dead center exists
It’s hilarious he had to make us a little drawing making up his own scale that fits this narrative.
It’s an abstraction of a caricature I’ve seen. Point A was civil rights, point B was the KKK, and the middle ground guy was like “what if we only kill half of Black people?”
