At least two types exist:
1. Person who claims to reject what they perceive as "both sides," while ignoring the realization that centrism carries the implication of embracing the virtues of both sides.
2. Person who claims to be moderate, yet exhibits a pattern of behavior that typically and exclusively defends or exempts one ideological belief from criticism.
This phrase is a tongue-in-cheek mockery, often cast upon those who lack self awareness; this flaw is commonly exhibited by those who want to be perceived as having risen above the standard, despite having obvious and often stereotypical biases.
Typically, the Enlightened Centrist takes what they perceive as a neutral position, by claiming "both sides" are flawed. However, the irony of this position is the complete disregard of the possibility that both sides sometimes may be right when it comes to certain issues. Thus, the "Enlightened Centrist" has inadvertently still chosen a partisan position while believing they have somehow conquered the conundrum of opposition.
