I certainly agree with this point and also use it as an example of the way
that some people and groups of people tend to embrace an all or none, good or
evil approach to a plethora of subjects. It seems as if there is no room for
any middle ground. Nothing between jet black and pure white. This may serve a
useful function to some but is clearly absurd, sometimes laughable,to a
non-zealot!
