This morning I was thinking about the "slippery slope fallacy"
and how it's a common instrument of an appeal to fallacy fallacy.
As it turns out, the potential validity of slippery slope arguments is well studied.

[Sorites paradox](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorites_paradox#Continuum_fallacy)

[Many-valued logic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Many-valued_logic)

[Fuzzy logic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzzy_logic)

Strictly speaking, a slippery slope argument is only fallacious
if it is not _necessarily_ true that one event must follow another.
