Reason: Specified

Literal logical fallacy (improper appeal to authority), probably among the top three, alongside ad homenim and ad populum.

For those who don't know;

  • Ad homenim is personal attacks/attack on a person's character rather than their arguments: "You're racist so you're automatically wrong!".
  • Ad populum is basically when someone asserts that the majority must be right: "99% of scientists say Climate Change* is real, so it's real!".

*the Climate Change agenda/narrative, not literal climate change

edit: added star to clarify as per valid concern from MyDaughtersDaddy
