Not sure I understand your point. Both options aren't really extreme, only one is. Similarly, only one option has some degree of doubt over what will happen.
We've been in the EU for decades. "Remain" is a vote for continuation, i.e. how things are at the moment (hardly an extreme).
A more apt comparison would be a poll that asked you "Would you like a cup of tea, or a punch in the face?"
If I opt for the tea do I have to drink it?
