Anyone who would scoff at accepting knowledge on the authority of others would have to go through life knowing next to nothing as more than 90% of what we know comes from accepting authority from others.Yes, I do. Because it's not only textbook appeal to authority fallacy in your case, it's copypasta! That you imagine anyone's going to read that shit after you've pasted the same exact thing at least 25 times in the past month takes a stellar idiot. Make your case in your own words, then perhaps reference "authority" for backup. No one here is conversing with Wald, Einstein. That dog won't hunt.I'm sure you do see it that way. It's not an appeal to authority it is accepting knowledge on authority. Feel free to scoff at that too.
As for how one provides what was written by that authority in an online discussion forum copying and pasting it is the only way to do so.
I actually did make my case in my words first. You scoffed at it. The reality is that whatever I post you are going to disagree with because you are butt hurt. I don't really care if you get over it because it works to my advantage. You keep doing what you are doing and I'll keep doing what I am doing.
