Actually its been mentioned in several posts talking about Autolink. As well when you make an arguement that by letting Event A happen its only natural that Events B, C, D and E will happen which will result in Event Z then you are referring to the slippery slope.

Yes, but I think the issue that many have is if this is allowed, where is it going to end? Who's to stop Joe Shmoe from having a popup on their site that the user accidentally clicks YES to and it installs a toolbar that negates the Google toolbar and forwards all of the links to yet another competitor? Or better yet a browser that does it (which Google will do I believe). Who would scream bloody murder then? There would be no end in site to what people would do to the browsing experience, and when everyone NEEDS (not wants, but NEEDS as in a necessity) a browser to surf online, it becomes sketchy insofar as monopolizing a market when you are a company this huge with this much reach.

That is the exact definition of a slippery slope argument.
