Hi Bruno,
I agree. It is as if being very skilled in one field leads a person to
the belief that they are infallible in any other. I have seen books that
discuss this... Most of all, your point about arguments from authority must
not be missed! ;-)

Charlatan, maybe...
I have discovered that *many* scientist can be serious in a field and
very bad or even charlatan in another field.
It is certainly a reason to be skeptic of all authoritative arguments.
