That is a fallacy fallacy. Just because some slopes are not slippery that does not mean none of them are.

The slippery slope fallacy is: "this is a slope. you will slip down it." and is always fallacious. Always. The valid form of such an argument is: "this is a slope, and it is a slippery one, therefore, you will slip down it."
