A "slippery slope" fallacy might be what you're thinking of.

It's almost a meta-slippery-slope fallacy, in that the specific slope is not specified; only the existence of the slope and its slipperiness is asserted.

  • The slope we've observed over the decades is PHP. Which went from "basic HTML templating language" to "dotnet but you write $ everywhere". PHP has grown so much in complexity and feature-set that Symphony and the likes are legitimately dotnet-type. They make Go backends look low-level and primitive.
