Too strong; one does not need for them to always happen.
In response to the question you meant to ask, Yvain said it well
Yvain said there are slippery slopes and identified Schelling points as a natural stopping point of them. Nonetheless, I think we should be suspicious of the slippery-slop argument because it can easily be a fully general counter argument unless it resorts to specific evidence in support.
Edit: My question is more directed at the divide you asserted between "classical rationality" and whatever alternative you think is better.
Right. So
is a poor slippery slope, whereas
