    If relying on any knowledge is bad, then why should we believe what you say? That’s an appeal to authority

      I didn’t say any knowledge. I’m saying if you reject what someone says only because they don’t have some arbitrary experience that you require. That’s an appeal to authority

        Why should anyone listen to what you have to say? Can you give a reason without an appeal to authority?
