Defied by Aristotle, even though he is often looked to as the source of the fallacy. Though he does argue that each virtue is a mean between excess and deficit, he remarks that it would be stupid to infer that we should therefore seek moderation in all things. What is an appropriate level of a particular character trait is context-dependent and certain character traits are so unambiguously evil that there is no such thing as a moderate amount.

I've mentioned this briefly.  This is an article by a CIA person about the role of the CIA in examining reports of UFOs during the second half of the 20th Century.   This isn't required reading, but it is on topic for our course, and it is a case study in bad decisions in public policy.

"It was one of the earlier forays into three-dimensional animation by a television network...certainly one of the more mature efforts, anyhow. Among other things, the show survives in fan bases thanks to its cast of eccentric characters and premise (which is evidently radically different when placed alongside contemporaries)."

I like to image the debriefing that Colonel Edwards gave to the Generals after this mission. "Sirs, Dr Jackson has secured our supply of naquadah for the BC-303 program." "Excellent! Were you able to estimate how many men we'll need to work the mine?" "None, sir." "I beg your pardon?" "None, sir. The Unas have agreed to work the mine themselves," Hammond hides a knowing smirk. "This ought to be interesting, continue Colonel" "During Dr Jackson's initial negotiations, an Unas was shot and killed in a misunderstanding while trying to retrieve a personal item which he presumably lost near our position. The gunshots caused negotiations to break down. Dr Jackson returned and advised a retreat. We quickly found ourselves surrounded and outnumbered by several other, previously undiscovered, Unas tribes. They took up position on the ridge around the gate site. If we tried to dial out, they would have overrun us before we could evac. A tribal leader, 'Iron Shirt' I believe, came down from their perimeter to discuss the apparent duplicity of the misunderstanding. At Dr Jackson's insistence, we kneeled to show respect, pointing out this was how their social order works. He then resumed negotiations. After an uncomfortable and tense several hours he informed me that he believed we had a deal. He'd agreed on our behalf to stop desecrating their sacred ground. And in exchange they agreed to honor their dead by helping to defeat their ancestor's killers, the Gould. By working the mine themselves and turning over all the naquadah to us. Dr Jackson believes they'll prove to be valuable allies if we treat them with honor and respect. He also believes they'll be capable of learning to work our mining equipment." "That's one hell of a story Colonel. Good work!"
