I think you completely missed the point of his post. The link provided did not say "you're not allowed to dislike FIRST's decisions", it said that saying something is bad because other unrelated decisions would be bad is a logical fallacy.

I assumed he was referring to my post as the start of a slippery slope statement which would initiate a chain of events. I now see what he was referring to- but it is not a slipery slope fallacy. THIS year FIRST accepted the donation of four BB motors and got rid of many of the older ones. My insinuation is that should BB donate a pile of RS775s and CIMulators, based on the precident set this year, I argue that they would be tempted to get rid of the CIMs. It is not a logical fallacy since a precident has been set. A precident that was preceeded by the Denso motors replacing the previous window motors and keyang, the CIMs replacing the Drills etc. When FIRST is offered a better deal on KOP parts, they take it in favor of their previous components.

Ah the days of the 300W+ Bosch drill motors I forgot about the high torque servo! I wish I had one of those now...
