Recognise arguments of "Appeals to Authority"
These arguments are frequently made in courtrooms.
"Mr. So and So, who is an authority on this subject, said Such and Such, therefore Such and Such should be believed... "
These are arguments of "Appeal to Authority"
Other Examples :
Buddha said that...
Krishnamurti said that...
Supreme Court says that.....
High Court says that.....
These types of arguments are not based on logic. They are Appeals to Authority. Such weak arguments can be demolished with right logic.
