- nimbleal 1y agoI don’t think that’s an argument from authority. “Experts have been discussing X without reaching a conclusion for a long time” is a premise from which a reasonable argument can be made for the unlikelihood that an off-hand comment on HN has solved X. Argument from authority doesn't take that form though the two do have invoking authorities in common.
