Slippery Slope Fallacy By: Derek Gossett and Bekah Lancaster

Definition Also known as the camel’s nose Also known as the camel’s nose A fallacy in which a person asserts that some event must inevitably follow from another without any argument for the inevitability of the event in question. In most cases, there are a series of steps between one event and the one in question and no reason is given as to why the intervening steps will simply be bypassed. A fallacy in which a person asserts that some event must inevitably follow from another without any argument for the inevitability of the event in question. In most cases, there are a series of steps between one event and the one in question and no reason is given as to why the intervening steps will simply be bypassed.

Examples “(1) If you buy a Green Day album, then next you’ll be buying Buzzcocks albums, and before you know it you’ll be a punk with green hair and everything. (2) You don’t want to become a punk. Therefore: (3) You shouldn’t buy a Green Day album.” “(1) If you buy a Green Day album, then next you’ll be buying Buzzcocks albums, and before you know it you’ll be a punk with green hair and everything. (2) You don’t want to become a punk. Therefore: (3) You shouldn’t buy a Green Day album.”

More examples The first step towards inevitably becoming Amy Winehouse.. Slippery Slope isn't always a logical fallacy. presupposes that if one small step is taken in a particular direction, it will inevitably lead to a more extreme outcome. For example, it is common wisdom that, once you start drinking alone, you're destined to die naked in a gutter with a liver made of pure grain alcohol. It might be true, but it's not necessarily true, and is thus a logical fallacy. The first step towards inevitably becoming Amy Winehouse.. Slippery Slope isn't always a logical fallacy. The slippery slope is an analogy used to describe any argument that presupposes that if one small step is taken in a particular direction, it will inevitably lead to a more extreme outcome. For example, it is common wisdom that, once you start drinking alone, you're destined to die naked in a gutter with a liver made of pure grain alcohol. It might be true, but it's not necessarily true, and is thus a logical fallacy.
