For instance, in AF and regarding cardiac surgery, my highest authority is Valk.

In AF and regarding physics, I'll go with Alex.

I won't even consider "obey". That is my individual choice, whether that entity has authority or not.

Agreed.

I think the best answer I could give that is general and would fit in many situations is Society.  But even that isn't nearly 100%.  There are things society find acceptable and I do not, and vice versa.

It's harder when you don't have a single pat answer.
