- Somewhere in the city of Logicton...
- Skluzavka: 2
- Logicton Court House
- Skluzavka: 3
- Court is now in session. Mr. Slope, you stand accused of exaggeration and faulty reasoning. How do you plead?
- Not guilty, Your Honor! I’m just being cautious!
- JudgeRationalia
- Skluzavka: 4
- Your Honor, this fallacy spreads panic. He claims that one small action always leads to extreme consequences, without real proof!
- JudgeRationalia
- Skluzavka: 5
- Example: ‘If we allow students to redo one test, soon they’ll expect to redo every test, and education will collapse!’ That’s pure exaggeration!”
- It could happen... maybe…
- JudgeRationalia
- Skluzavka: 6
- Hmmm… proceed.
- Your Honor, my client simply encourages people to think ahead. He reminds us that actions can have consequences. Isn’t that... logical?
- Exactly! I’m just connecting the dots - a to b to c - it’s all connected!
- JudgeRationalia
- Skluzavka: 7
- Audience gasps...
- But you skip steps, don’t you, Mr. Slope? You jump from small causes to huge effects without evidence!
- Not always! Sometimes, little things really do lead to big problems!
- JudgeRationalia
- True - but assuming it always happens is where you go wrong!”
- Skluzavka: 8
- Order! Order! This courtroom is turning into a debate club!
- Other fallacies snicker in the background: Sir Straw Man whispers, “He’s always overreacting,” and Adam Hominem laughs.
- JudgeRationalia
- Skluzavka: 9
- You’re not preventing - you’re pretending! There’s a difference between warning and wild guessing!
- (nodding): Exactly! I’m not fear mongering, I’m preventing disaster!
- Your Honor, isn’t it fair to be cautious? If people didn’t think ahead, society might take real risks!
- JudgeRationalia
- Skluzavka: 10
- Mr. Slippery Slope, while your intentions may be to warn, you often mislead by assuming one event automatically causes another.
- (bangs gavel):“You are found guilty of faulty reasoning - and sentenced to rehabilitation in the Logic Workshop!”
- (relieved): “At least it’s not time at Fallacy Penetentiary…”
- JudgeRationalia
