Ask others on this thread if you are right.

Why would I accept them as authorities for an argument from authority?

Also even from actual experts, including experts I personally respect, I consider arguments from authority to be very weak.

You see all of this as just some sort of fight where you defend your position as best you can no matter what the facts.

Other than my direct statements you have not idea how I see things. If I'm wrong its up to you to show that I am wrong. Attacking me personally, and miscategorizing my opinions and methods doesn't do that, but I suppose its easier than making an actual solid relevant argument.
