I still remember that guy from the JNE forums that pretended to be a "scholar" with an organization that couldn't be found on the web dancing that dance. I had to post seven demands for evidence before he moved off of steps 2 and 3.
Of course, authorities are only godly sources of the Truth when they say what these people want to hear. Bart Ehrman ceases to be a reliable authority when he's writing about the problems of interpolation, pseudo-epigraphy and the different Christianities of the first few centuries.
