Classic argumentum ad hominem, or in the vulgar, “Playing the man but not the ball.” If my words are right, they could be written with gold engraving on vellum and scattered from my ivory tower, and they would still be right. If my words are wrong, it doesn’t matter who I am or where I sit, explain how they are wrong.
