"belief in or reliance on academic or other formal qualifications as the best measure of a person's intelligence or ability to do a particular job."
- samatman 7y agoIt's also accepting a weak argument because of the credentials of the author. I thought that was trivially understood, but I guess not. Which is also not what you're doing; your case appears to be that credentials are a reason to reject a sound explanation or argument, which is absurd.
