The word "extreme" is a relative term.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_term
The above link states, "The colloquial meaning for a relative term is that it is different for different people or situations. An example: someone who is 5 feet tall might think someone who is 5 feet six inches tall is tall, but someone who is 6 feet would think that that person is short."
