The principle that fallacies represent [possibilities], not certainties—they identify ways reasoning could go wrong, not guarantees that it has. Calling an argument a [slippery slope] doesn't prove it's wrong; it identifies a possibility of error that must be evaluated. Calling an [argument ad hominem] doesn't settle the matter; it raises a possibility that must be assessed. The law of the fallacy possibility reminds us that fallacy labels are hypotheses, not verdicts. They open inquiry rather than closing it. The real work is not in naming the fallacy but in determining whether it actually occurred—whether the possibility is actual.
