thanks for posting that. It’s great entertainment to watch people Inflate themselves. The hubris and lack of humility is funny.

An appeal to an authority based on an appeal to a authority. A fortiori. :mrgreen:

I simply must assume that our dear Zeke realizes the joke.

No apology.

It was definitely a barb, but also a joke because I appealed to an authority (Thomas) who appeals to an authority (Boethius) to claim that an appeal to authority is the weakest sort of proof.

I don’t see any issue with appealing to an authority. It is the self appeal that is weak.

Indeed. Too good of a joke / tweak to pass up
