Far too often, especially in my (former) line of work, people establish themselves as authorities, and don&#8217;t accept one bit of second-guessing.  Even attempting to do so results in strong rebuke.<br \/>\nThat said, it&#8217;s not just in what I was trying to do for work.  It attaches to many, many, many aspects of life.  How dare you even question Al Gore&#8217;s authoritative tome on climate change?  It&#8217;s <u>science<\/u>.  So, too, is whatever Paul Krugman regurgitates on economics;  he has a <b>Nobel Prize<\/b>.<br \/>\nIn anything, your have to make your argument, cite back to something, not someone, that is actually authoritative.<br \/>\nTo me, it&#8217;s not that big a deal;  I did that consistently in my studies.<br \/>\nListening to the <a href=\"https:\/\/reason.com\/podcasts\" target=\"new\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Reason Podcasts<\/a> isn&#8217;t really conducive to keeping focused on this.
