I'm with you because I had the same experience with a judge while lawyerless. I showed him a manufacturer tech spec on my car to make the point that based on its 0-60 acceleration, it was physically impossible that I was going 67 mph by the time I reached the intersection where I was clocked from where I started accelerating. His response upon seeing the specs was, "What are you, trying to sell me on a car?! This officer (witness) has been with the department 15 years. Guilty."

If that judge had been on HN he would have been cited for 1 count of 'appeal to authority'.
