Fallacies-Appeal+to+Authority

**//Appeal to Authority//** MM Lee: drinking Ginseng soup is good for exams. But he isn't an authority in the right field- expert in politics, not in ginseng? He was a lawyer (lawyers are scary. They talk non-stop.) precisely. ginseng soup isnt in this lawyer's area of expertise. butbut what if he drinks ginseng soup everyday? Just because he is a respected figure, doesnt mean he knows everything. The right expert in this kind of argument is TCM expert, nutrititionist. Or better, a group of such experts who have done studies. wrong kind of authority: specialised in a different field from that in the argument questionable, not false. http://piratepad.net/fallacies311
