wow. the irony of the researcher claiming we must trust institutions for science and not methods and assertion over evidence then having all her institutional gravitas derive from self reference and self assertion as an authority is thick enough to stand a spoon in.

truly, appeal to ones own authority is the most fun of the appeal to authority fallacies.

but i'm not quite sure i have ever seen it done in such a layered fashion before.

she's a literal matryoshka doll of nested appeals to self authority.

can the singularity be far away?
