The fallacy of moderation is a logical fallacy which occurs when one assumes that the truth must lie approximately halfway between two opposing opinions. It is also known as False Compromise and The Golden Mean Fallacy.

The fallacy of moderation is related to the technique of Moving the Fulcrum and the Overton window concept in political theory [W].
