The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The core of the slippery slope argument is that a specific decision under debate is likely to result in unintended consequences.
- The strength of such an argument depends on whether the small step really is likely to lead to the effect.
- This is quantified in terms of what is known as the warrant.
