FAQ: arguing from evidence not authority
Is appealing to authority always wrong?
No -- credible authorities with relevant expertise are valid evidence. The fallacy is using authority instead of evidence, not alongside it.
How do I assess the quality of evidence?
Source credibility, methodology, sample size, replicability, and how well the evidence actually supports the claim.
Does audio help?
Use it to prime the analytical, open-minded state that evidence evaluation requires.
