“Some people say light is waves, and some say it’s particles, so I bet light is some in-between thing that’s both wave and particle depending on how you look at it. Am I right?” “YES, BUT YOU SHOULDN’T BE!”
It’s “somewhere in the middle”. You are putting to much emphasis on “middle” and not enough of “somewhere”.
Somewhere in the middle means there’s a middle and side-leaning, yes.
This is why people hate pedants. You’re technically correct, it’s just a useless distinction that only exists to make you feel better.

You seem nice.
Somewhere in the middle means it doesn’t have to be dead center - it just has be between the two extremes and not exactly one of the extremes. To put it in numbers, somewhere in the middle between 0 and 1 is not just 0.5. It can also be 0.4. Or 0.7. Or 0.00000000001.
