Agreeing to disagree is a false middle. Compromise is the real middle. (But you're right, some times it just won't work.)

Let's call compromise the Aristotelian mean--that is in between but on a higher plane. (brashness-courage -cowardice) And agreeing to disagree the middle.

So does that mean compromise is even attainable? By its definition your conceding something.
