Give me a break, this guy is arguing reading random articles on the internet is the same as studying philosophy and he thinks that the argument from authority is essentially a fallacious argument. Go ask a doctor if he thinks the argument from authority is a fallacious argument or if he would prefer you to check every single medical fact he gives you based on your own critical thinking skills. Perhaps you could tell him his statistics were ad populum, see what he says. That is how adults reason, right? When you grow up, you don't trust other people, you think for yourself, you realize that you are smarter than everyone else and thats why you don't trust doctors, you trust yourself. If a doctor tells you a CAT scan says you have serious problems, you start arguing with him about X-Ray science. That is what adults do, argument from authority, lol.
