It should be called 'appeal to inappropriate authority'. An expert on a subject with a reputation for honesty can justifiably trusted to have good information on their topic of expertise, but they are not right because they are an authority, they are right because they put in the time to learn to understand the subject. You are justifiably trusting that they know what they are talking about because they earned their reputation.
Drich's method is a recipe for convincing yourself of anything you set out to convince yourself of; and if you do think you've made contact with his authority, all you've got is a voice in your head; and voices in your head do not have a reputation for honesty and subject matter expertise. You can use the same method to contact Vishnu or Athena; and whatever you think you've contacted YOU don't have the expertise to tell if it's real, just in your head, or something else.
