resistance is futile, you will be assimilated

[SubtleVirtue]

I merely point out that there is a correlation involved.

With a bare claim, again the risible self aggrandising assertion, that you made, about your own intelligence, has absolutely no bearing on any argument you present, and again, the fact you don't seem to understand its irrelevance, or why it is irrelevant, creates an obvious inference.

One example of when appeal to authority is legitimate; there is agreement among experts about the topic under discussion!
