Don't just reach for lines like these if you don't have an evidence-based reason to back it up. The moment you do that, your coworkers will realize that you are just trying to shut them down and don't care about having an intellectually honest discussion. And besides, what good are experience and credentials if they don't give you the knowledge to substantiate your ideas? If there's any other good reason for that (typical corporate externalities like "hey, I'm really sorry but management says we have to <do really stupid thing>, this is not up for debate"), that's one thing, but if it reflects entirely on you then that's a really bad look IMO.
