    How does authority figure in?

    I don’t understand his reasoning but he’s got a good reputation. Or cites such.

      Authority means I’ll give an opinion a second look if my first instinct is to ignore someone, only if it’s in their area of expertise.

      If there’s authority without expertise, it means nothing to me.
