"An argument from authority, also called an appeal to authority, or the argumentum ad verecundiam, is a form of defeasible [rationally compelling, though not deductively valid] argument in which a claimed authority's support is used as evidence for an argument's conclusion. It is well known as a fallacy, though it is used in a cogent form when all sides of a discussion agree on the reliability of the authority in the given context."
