slippery slope; or otherwise known: "if you give devil a finger, it takes whole hand" ...millenias old wisdom that you should never, ever give in at your convictions, not even one inch
Sure, but that's not the same as the fallacy. This is about strict argumentation and analysis.
yeah, but slippery slope is not exactly fallacy, but more imaginative way of saying "give little finger to devil and it takes whole hand" ;slippery slope being in mental image of "once you start sliding you wont stop"
It is a fallacy, you just have to be careful about the scope of your implications. And it's truth is irrelevant to it's validity.
