In your article the author says, "When two opposite points of view are expressed with equal intensity, the truth does not necessarily lie exactly halfway between them. It is possible for one side to be simply wrong." This argument was addressed by Hegel by framing the conundrum of what happens when an irresistible force collides with an immovable object? By definition neither one can continue to exist.

Hegel called the immovable object the thesis, and the irresistible force the antithesis. The result of their interaction is a synthesis. Hegel goes on to explain that this new synthesis becomes a new thesis, which in time will be met by its antithesis. This process is change and is evolutionary in its operation.
