He's not wrong about that and you're a fool. You don't know what "appeal to authority" means as a concept. Emily wasn't appealing to authority, she was demonstrating that she is more knowledgeable than you are. Your boorish ignorance is not as valid as her professional expertise.

I'm not going to go into critical thinking here - you can go and read up on what appeal to authority means. Being a professional does not mean your arugment is instantly correct - it is more likely to be correct if argued well.

I know what it means. You demonstrably don't, as you've got it wrong about half a dozen times in this thread already. You're affecting knowledge where you have none, and you're misusing this concept as a shield against people pointing out that you know nothing about this subject

Read this, and then read it again to make sure you've understood it, and then think about your behaviour. (Now this IS an appeal to authority) www.the-reframe.com/your-ignoran...
