Slippery Slope is not necessarily a fallacy because it's a very real phenomenon. My test is examining the "slippery slope" by asking if it instead "establishes a precedent". And then I see how easy it might be to justify going further down such a path based on past justifications.

Fair, I just don't see how my acquiescence to one thing is an endorsement of a distinct, if similar, thing.

I guess I reject the idea that policy (a well considered and debated, long lasting decision) would actually fall for something like a slippery slope.

The proverbial boiled frog just jumps out of the pot when the water gets too hot, in reality.

I appreciate that, and for what it's worth I agree you that slippery slope/establishing a precedent is countered with concrete and well thought out criteria that need to be met.
