With regard to black and white....

I work in the Information Assurance (aka computer security) business. My mentor described his approach to security this way: If what you think a system needs is five pounds of security, you ask the Program Manager to provide 10, after pushback from him (that you always get)begrudgingly adjust the amount to eight, fight like he!! for 6 or 7, and when you think he has provided 5, accept it and allow the system to operate.

I believe it is kind of that way for the right and left. Lurking behind the apparently non-compromising persona is probably a reasonable human being who is pushing hard for 10 pounds of left or right, but in the final analysis would be satisfied with something less than total left or right.

Not speaking for anyone else on the forum, just a hunch.
