You're an idiot. Your argument is called "the appeal to authority." It's a logical fallacy. Credentials don't constitute proof of anything, dipstick.
Credentials do not prove anything, but the opinions of people who have been well educated and have worked their entire lives in a field are much more likely to be accurate than the opinions of those who know next to nothing about the subject - like yourself for example.
Except when they aren't. You're trying to claim the appeal to authority is not a fallacy.
Claims are either true or false. The credentials of the people who advance the claims don't prove a thing.
