Gotcha, so you're defending the people who made the study, but not the study itself, i.e. appealing to authority.
> I was criticising the way they argue,
As I am to you.
- GeoAtreides 1y agoPlease, I beg you, ask a LLM or read on Wiki what appealing to authority means
- jacobgkau 1y agoI know what it means from more reliable sources than LLMs and wikis. Maybe you should try checking a more reliable source, yourself. Or state what you actually think I'm getting wrong about it, instead of appealing to the authority of LLMs and wikis!
- GeoAtreides 1y agoThere is no appeal to authority fallacy when then subject of the appeal is also the authority's area of expertise Ask and trust Einstein on general relativity --> no appeal to authority Ask and trust Einstein on why drugs are bad just because he, Einstein the physics genius, says so --> appeal to authority
