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.

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