Next you'll be telling me that slippery slope doesn't exist because it's the name of a fallacy.
I've always felt that "slippery slope fallacy" is a silly term. Why do we have special language to refer to any weak argument that takes a certain form? Why not just call them "weak?"
However, as it's not uncommon for people to reject arguments purely on the basis of them taking a slippery slope form, "slippery slope fallacy fallacy" should totally become a phrase.
And when people start accusing others of "slippery slope fallacy fallacy" only on the basis that they were arguing against a slippery slope argument, we can introduce the "slippery slope fallacy fallacy fallacy."
