    Slippery slope argument → Abduction

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A slippery slope argument predicts a problematic chain of consequences. Abduction offers a possible explanation for an observation. Both invite scrutiny of their assumptions, one in making a prediction and the other in proposing an explanation.

  2. R-109 · Subject neighbour · directed

    Slippery slope argument → Framing

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A slippery slope argument can frame an initial decision as the start of an unstoppable decline. Framing makes that perspective open to analysis. The predicted chain of consequences still requires evidence.

  3. R-110 · Subject neighbour · directed

    Slippery slope argument → False dilemma

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A slippery slope argument can distort the available options by positing a chain of consequences. A false dilemma does so by restricting the alternatives. Each calls for a different test.
