The fallacy is when a resume is used to substitute for evidence.
"Shut up, I'm the expert and I say so" is not a valid reason to believe something. Even experts are required to provide evidence for what they believe.
I don't believe in evolution because Dawkins says so. I believe it because of the mountain of evidence.
Clear?
