Slippery slope fallacy gets trotted out too often, and I'm starting to sour more when it does. The actual fallacy is assuming that all slopes are necessarily slippery. But it is equally a fallacy to assume that none of them are. Increasingly, I see the slippery slope fallacy being used to advocate against paying attention to or correcting very clear, observable trends. Of course not all slopes are slippery, but I think people should be more cautious about this kind of argument. It's easy to forget that absent friction, this universe tends to preserve motion.
