Sir Issac also believed in alchemy and Biblical prophecy. He also rejected the idea of a divine Jesus, insisting that conventional Trinitarian Christianity was blasphemy.
That's how science works. Your good ideas and contributions stand on their own merit. Your bad ideas get discarded. Scientists are respected and remembered for their good ideas, with their bad ideas simply forgotten, as is the case with Issac Newton.
Sir Issac Newton was also a nasty human being but that has nothing to do with his contribution to science.
Appeal to authority means nothing in science. Rightly so, since it is a fallacy.
