> you're describing a very particular implementation of PoS.

It's silly to say PoS doesn't work when what you really mean is that some badly designed PoS systems don't work. Slashing is a solution to a problem. It's honestly irrelevant if some PoS systems don't do slashing.

It's silly to respond to one particular claim in isolation, when I wrote a long post that addressed the limitations of slashing. Please don't respond to what I say out of context.
