    Isn’t it the opposite of a data point? Left and right are very broad categories, each of which includes a lot of data points

      Well, it’s (theoretically) the average position of every position they hold, which is one point. The issue is that everyone values different things in different ways, so it’s not the most useful thing.

        I don’t agree that it’s an average as much as it’s a set containing many data points, but sure, just semantics I guess
