It's certainly not true for the "authorities" in question here. Meaning, they indeed aren't "authoritative", as you would have it. You essentially refuse to seriously check for that. I guess, because you have so little confidence in what your peers would do if they found out? Authoritativeness isn't reliably conveyed ex officio. Putting your head in the sand isn't a solution for that. |

Weird use of scarequotes. And yeah, no one is claiming the person who wrote the opinion is an authority. You made a generalization though, and that's what I was responding to.

Found out what? I don't even have confidence that most of my "peers" would think it's important to check in the first place.
