Just to play devils advocate, the whole point of the Knots peoples position is that core devs are compromised, so appeals to authority does nothing to sway them. You have to break it down and teach if the goal is to get people to change their opinion. Right or wrong, the sentiment you shared is 100% ad hominem and 0% substantive argument.

So appeal to authority is correct when you appeal to the right authority?

Brainless people can come up with everything. All kind of excuses. Even try to bend reality. But in this particular case the main qustion is about TRUST, no matter doctor, dev or police. I guess its not easy to lack brain capacity.

Lolol. This is what you just said: “those experts are retarded while my experts are not.” Appeal to authority is the lowest form of argument.
