In the context of slippery slopes, again this is moving between two adjacent points not showing you can just as easily move to any point on the scale.

Yes, and then we move to a point adjacent to the new point, and then to a point adjacent to the next point. This is how slippery slopes work.

He means adjacent without ascension/descension: lateral movement, i.e. change in non-morally relevant variables.
