Even then, it's still a fallacy. Argument of authority, argument from popularity, increase the chance of something being true often, and depending on the subject, increase it significantly. But doctors even have prescribed things that ended up being discovered to be very harmful, and it was agreed upon by the authorities. And medical authority is the best authority out there, yet even then, it's not 100% immune to error.
I've said it before, argument from ignorance is also often a strong argument. If it wasn't strong at all, the problem of evil would not have bothered anyone nor would anyone use it as an argument. But it's a fallacy at the end.
