> This is an appeal to authority that is not valid

I'm open to that criticism; I'm typically pretty skeptical of appeals to authority myself.

But to be clear: the appeal to authority I'm making isn't "legal opinion of a lawyer" (I agree that's very weak) but rather "opinion on corporate law by a Wachtell attorney who practiced corporate law" (Wachtell is probably the best corporate law firm in the world, and clearly in the top handful)

And in the example the parent comment gave: RUDY Guiliani was a US Attorney and the Associate Attorney General (third highest position in the DoJ).
