Yeah. I think you're right.

I guess the thought that struck me was that, when you allow one person to own, control, and exploit another... the potential for possible suffering is boundless. The potential pleasure that the master derives from such a relationship would (as a rule) be trivial compared to the amount of suffering that could be experienced by the slave.
