All or nothingThis fallacy relates to black and white thinking, for example since you break traffic laws by driving 5 miles over the speed limit. Why not drive 75 miles over the speed limit. Since the state of Colorado has legalized the recreational use of marijuana, why not legalize all drugs for recreational use?

Part one is about how science works even when the public thinks it doesn't. Part two will certainly ruffle some feathers by offering a reason- and science-based perspective on issues where political correctness has gone awry. Part three provides some data-driven advice for your health and well-being. Part four looks at human behavior and how we can better navigate our social worlds. In part five we put on our skeptical goggles and critically examine a few commonly-held beliefs. In the final section, we look at a few ways how we all can make the world a better place.

Sounds like an application of the “sorites paradox”, which can appear as a couple of fallacies, like the "Continuum fallacy" (here called "Argument of the beard<>") or of course, as Bo stated, the "slippery slope" argument
