Logical fallacy: Argument from authority.

[-] TranscendentalEmpire@lemm.ee 32 points 1 day ago

There's a difference between an authority figure and someone with expertise in a subject. This individual isn't using a position of power to supplement his argument, he is just detailing his experience.

People really need to stop treating logical fallacy like they're harry potter spells.

also the fallacy fallacy would fit perfectly here. Even if the fallacy was occurring that doesn't mean the argument is wrong.

Yep, you can illogically come to a conclusion and still be right. That's basically how intuitive thought is defined.

Look who learned the world fallacy today. Still you're using it wrong
