Actually, in the long run, history takes a dim view of the people in the center.
People on one "extreme" side are vindicated. And everybody else gets flagged as supporting the wrong position.
As I put it to one friend: "When the issue was Catholics marrying Lutherans, your church and everybody in the "middle" were on the wrong side of the decision. When the issue was racial intermarriage, your church and everybody in the "middle" were on the wrong side of the decision. Now that the issue is gay marriage, why do you believe your church and everybody in the middle are on the correct side of the decision this time?"
The truth lies in the middle is, in fact, generally wrong.
