I guess I've interpreted "its associates, broadly interpreted" too
broadly :).  Seriously, how is "its associates, broadly interpreted"
supposed to be interpreted?

In any case, yes, there's a difference.  But there's always a
difference between the beginning of a slippery slope and the end of
it.  That's the whole point of a slippery slope.
