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
