By default, there's no reason *not to* assume a given authority of a subject matter is wrong about said subject matter. You'd have to prove the authority is wrong.

And saying "Oh they're paid by the government." isn't proof of this.

Now, if the authority is *invalid*, say taking a layman's opinion and using it as a source, I would agree that's a fallacious argument.

I can't post pictures. But at 1000 feet altitude, on a flat earth, we could see about 542.5 miles given our angular resolution, while on the globe, the curvature would stop it at 38.7 miles.
Flat earth simply doesn't match reality.

And you can see the bottom obscured by that curvature

Longer distances could be seen due to refractive circumstances

April. You need a wake up call... hospitals are one of the WORST PLACES for catching viruses or worse... even though they help you get well. ITS WHERE SICK PEOPLE GO WITH THIER DISEASE AND VIRUS.. i worked for 6 years in ICU and Cardio care units.. Mersa and worse is there

Autism 30 years ago was a 5-6 in a 100 maybe.... today its like over 30 %.. you tell me whats changed... ill tell you.. The MANDATORY VACCINE PROGRAMS

Perhaps not the best analogy but you get my point

@vazorium it's fallacious to assume an authority is correct simply because they're an authority

It's equally as fallacious to assume an independent party is correct simply because they're independent

@April Would you represent yourself in court if you were being tried? Or would you have some bum on the street preform an operation upon you if you were injured?

I would look at track records for ability

@April So the answer to questions one and two are "No.".

Thanks for demonstrating my point.

If the bum could show he was skilled then sure

@April VC

And fwiw I have represented myself in court

lmao

that didn't go well did it?

It actually went perfectly and exactly as I expected

I mostly do my own Healthcare too

Sure, kid, I really believe someone who won't even pop into VC.

I'm mute, hun. Lmap

I don't have patience to be typing all night, especially not to a probable liar.

Assuming someone is wrong due to a disability is an ad hominem fallacy

Typing is faster

Alright, @vazorium has been warned for '**Bad word usage**'.

So why want it to take longer?

I don't give a sh*t if it's a fallacy or not, buttercup. You're trying my patience with your tall tales and inability to grasp basic concepts.

Yeah it's pretty clear you rely on logical fallacies

I have the court documents to prove it lmao

@April DM me the pics

Go ask the court

You need a court order to see them
