Obdicut,

OK I didn’t read that sentence properly but yes, I do know what “fallacy” means.

I’m not into semantics, especially in a serious discussion like this, but I can tell you that your statement doesn’t make sense as it stands, so you are partly to blame at least for me getting it wrong:

Oh, we’re not as far down as that slippery slope fallacy as you think.

If the slippery slope is a fallacy, then we can’t be down it to any extent, when you think about it.

Now you’re quibbling about the use of the word “mother” and you’re accusing me of semantics?

Charles, there is no design behind when I post or don’t post, only free time. This is a fast -moving blog and I’m slow.
