David,

I’m trying to reconcile your repeated attempts to use argument from authority in our discussion with this statement you made in the comments at S&S:

I’m even less interested in whether a naked argument from authority can be constructed about whether or not something is a “science,” which is all your list represents.

Are you opposed to arguments from authority only when the topic is “what is science”?
