The link doesn't work for me. Maybe the server is overloaded but from the title of your post it seems that maybe the author doesn't understand the fallacy of the false appeal to authority. There is nothing wrong in quoting experts or quoting articles in which experts are quoted. This is not a logical fallacy.
There is something wrong with an argument in which Person A makes a claim. Person B then voices suspicion or doubt as to the veracity of the claim. Person A claims expertise in area C. Area C is not all related to the claim.
