So, Korda's implied threats continue, here with an attempt to set up what I call a "reverse" Appeal to Authority fallacy. In it, Person A attempts to discredit Person B's argument by simply claiming that they are not an "authority." This has no bearing on the argument itself, it's just a credentials war. If Person B's argument is actually based on EVIDENCE or the conclusions of multiple true authorities, then the argument DOES carry weight. Ultimately, all arguments are carried by logic and adherence to facts, not by who presents them. According to George's own logic, since Barack Obama has much more foreign policy experience than George, George obviously should accept Obama's foreign policy decisions without question.
