What are the scores? Some kind of sentiment? Is this based on data or conceptual?

Purely conceptual. (I forgot to make it XKCD style as a cue for that.)

You can always scale the left ideological sentiment and right ideological sentiment measures so they are distributed in the same way! Beliefs don't have objective scales anyway.

People talk about the political middle as if it's well-defined. But it's endless. Imagine you have 100 binary positions. There are 100,891,344,545,564,193,334,812,497,256 ways to be in the precise middle. There are exactly 2 ways to be at the extremes.

Yes, it's often a Utopic no-where. When people refer to the middle as a triangulated ideological position, they're invoking group calculus. As in, let's compromise on positions A and B for social cohesion. Valuable and necessary, for sure. But, the solutions are often bad.

Compromise is a good heuristic. But, it's a less accessible one given chronic disagreement. And, since we never get to see the decomposition of {direct experience, social experience, assessed importance} in aggregated opinion expression, it integrates a lot of noise.

Just yesterday I was wondering "how many people can you remove from an organization before it becomes dysfunctional." Now, I'm wondering how different it would be conditioned by such styles...
