I believe you misunderstand the fallacy. Credentials are important for a reason: for the same reason we don't let just anyone set out a shingle and perform surgery, having a means of identifying people with specific knowledge is helpful in deciding whether that person is likely to be providing information of value. No one says that means the person in question cannot be wrong, and anyone who uses credentialism to deny the possibility of error is indeed committing a fallacy. But simply saying that someone is more likely to know what they're talking about because they have the background to demonstrate knowledge of a certain field is NOT a fallacy. Ironically, you yourself prove why listening to people who are not subject matter experts is potentially a bad idea by citing incorrect information about global warming, which I suspect you garnered by refusing to listen to those who know what they're talking about.

That's your opinion. I always found it to be incredibly annoying, as it launches that shitty app every time you plug it in. You can't charge your Ipad without firing off ITunes.

Yet another example of Apple's holier than thou concept of design: "We know better than you do, about how you want to use our products."

Golly, if only there was some sort of, you know, preference you could change so that wouldn't happen. Mind blowing, I know.

educated young men primarily from Saudi Arabia. and they weren't nuts. they were committed to a bad idea, driven by hatred that we fomented.

They were willing to die themselves and kill how ever many thousands of innocent civilians to supposedly make a point. No sane person would do such things.

I went back to Samantha's and my room for a few minutes to search Sam's luggage for weapons. There were too many good looking women at the hotel for my comfort. Samantha is extremely jealous and twice tried to stab me when she thought I was looking at another woman...

Chills ran up my spine as I imagined Samantha sweet talking the hotel security guard into lending her his gun after seeing me glance at the undulating derrière of a striking Peruvian woman an hour or so earlier.

Yeah, that's someone you want to have around on the regular.

love, v.: I'll let you play with my life if you'll let me play with yours.
