Oh god, Vincent, I was talking about you. You are the one accepting and acting upon knowledge by authority — read my response again, just the first part should be sufficient. The scenario you picked, since you haven’t experienced being poisoned yet, someone told you that it would kill you and you act upon that knowledge because it comes from an authoritative source — a source that you accept as an authority.

You, not me. Try again, if you want. But I’m not into American culture wars, so drop the rude behavior.
