19023 | Slippery slope arguments are challenges to show where a non-arbitrary boundary lies [Vetter] |
Full Idea: Slippery slope arguments are not intended as demonstrative arguments, but rather as a challenge to show where a boundary is, and to show that the boundary is not arbitrary. | |
From: Barbara Vetter (Potentiality [2015], 5.3.3) | |
A reaction: [extracted from details of its context] You could respond by saying that a slippery slope levels off, rather than hitting a wall or plunging to perdition. |
