I never made an argument for anyone being right and others being wrong.I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you did not intend to be misleading. Here's the rule you are apparently unaware of: If you use a word like "scholars" and combine it with "many", "most" or"consensus", you ARE invoking scholarly authority behind your claims. In the future, I trust you'll be careful to bandy these words around casually lest your credibility be damaged.
