I am one of those guys who has real problems with authority. When I was 
a kid, I challenged my math teacher to prove the Pythagora theorem and I 
told her that I don't believe it without proof. She had my parents come 
to school. That nasty attitude was further reinforced by me getting a 
Bsc in mathematics few years later. Latin name for the argument from 
authority is "argumentum ad verecundiam" and is considered to be a 
logical error since the Roman times. I need some kind of explanation why 
is that so. I have nothing but respect for Maria, Nigel and Jonathan, 
but I need some kind of explanation. BTW, my favorite movie of all times 
is "Life of Brian", which also has something to do with challenging 
authority.

Blessed are the cheese makers
