Appeal to authority
Definition: Often we add strength to our arguments by referring to respected
sources or authorities and explaining their positions on the issues we’re
discussing. If, however, we try to get readers to agree with us simply by
impressing them with a famous name or by appealing to a supposed authority
who really isn’t much of an expert, we commit the fallacy of appeal to authority.
Example: “We should abolish the death penalty. Many respected people, such
as actor Guy Handsome, have publicly stated their opposition to it.” While Guy
Handsome may be an authority on matters having to do with acting, there’s no
particular reason why anyone should be moved by his political opinions—he is
probably no more of an authority on the death penalty than the person writing the
paper.
