But, he takes the people who described those experiments at their word, ergo, on authority. This was an example, but hopefully one that makes a point. If you didn't conduct the experiment yourself, you're taking it upon authority.
No sir. If you don’t understand what an appeal to authority is, go look it up.
If you can’t see that your “point “ is fallacious, I don’t know what to tell you.

A logical fallacy doesn't necessarily make the assertion false. It's not a deductive fallacy.
I take lots of things on authority. Including what the moon is made of, the strength of gravity, the number of calories in a slice of cheese, etc. I tend to believe the moon is made of rock, and not cheese, as some have asserted. Neither you nor I have been there, so we will have to rely on the word of others.
How is my point "fallacious"?
