Slippery Slope::
"Argumentation that A is bad, because A might lead to B, and B
to C, and we all know C is very bad."

A === "requiring me to give function a name"
no B
C === "requiring me to give number a name"
"Argumentation that requiring one to give function a name is bad,
because that might lead to requiring one to give number a name, and we
all know that that is very bad."
