But given a hypothetical question like “What play should a football team run when they are on 2nd down and 3 with 2:19 in the 3rd Quarter while leading by 3 points” — wouldn’t a professional NFL coach’s opinion be given more credence than mine? Einstein may have been wrong on quantum mechanics but if you had 1000 physics question it would be hard to think of a better person to ask.

You're proving my point. When examining an argument you should do so based on the merits of said argument. That's literally the basis of Appeal to Authority. It doesn't get more clear cut than this.

I'd also like to point out you have yet to provide a single fact in support of anything you're saying.

I’m not the person you’ve been talking to earlier
Sorry, lost track. Doesn't change my point though.
