Every correct tendency has an extreme that discredits it.

One has to simultaneously:

(1) identify what is correct,

(2) avoid succumbing to exaggerated, dogmatic, versions of even importantly correct ideas,

and

(3) avoid taking the existence of foolish, dangerous, even destructive extremes as a heuristic to decide that a tendency or set of ideas has no merit at all.

Nobody said this was easy.
