This was posted in the link I cited and I repeated the relevant bits of info several times throughout the thread.
In history, there are certain debates which generate strong disagreement; such as the civil war. Historical Jesus has never been a serious scholarly debate (as Nestor pointed out, there are, by the admission of a mythist, only 7 serious scholars who have taken the myth position, and that is out of thousands, similar to about the number of Scientists that proclaim themselves Creationists) - an appeal to authority would be more relevant in an actual historical debate.
Such as debating the rise of Christianity - or whether the civil war was because of slavery, etc.
