The fallacy of the excluded middle says that you can't just look at either extreme (no water, too much water) but you have to look at the middle as well. I'm saying that the same thing applies many other places as well -- that nothing is either good/bad or black/white but usually somewhere in the middle (mostly good, mostly bad, a mixed bag).

Too much water you drown, then the middle where one is hydrated and happy, and then of course the death due to not having enough.
