@BadGrassDieHard his analysis rests on a common misunderstanding of an appeal to authority -- see the book UNDERSTANDING ARGUMENTS, by Robert Fogelin

Very Confused. There is nothing inherently wrong with appealing to an authority. If the world chess champion says a chess move is good, citing him is reasonable even if not decisive Here's the blunder in this analysis: What the author is confusing is an appeal to authority with an appeal to MISPLACED authority -- citing Schwarzenegger (an authority on bodybuilding) as, erroneously, an authority on brain surgery(which requires a physician as authority)
