Here's a modicum of support, old boy:
It strikes me that the STO path is an exaggeration of Love and the STS is an exaggeration of Wisdom. Therefore, they would meet together in the middle in the place of balance.
No doubt some STS folks look ahead and try to re-polarize, but, as was discussed, their bias is deeply ingrained. They generally feel superior to the STO crowd because they seem to be taking a short cut, and for some that might be true.
On the other hand, it's a long road forward for any of us and each takes the pathways peculiar to it (punctuated by long periods of indifference, perhaps).
