Nokinside made an appeal to authority when he described Senator Warren's qualifications.

BurningFrog is arguing that that is not correct because Senator Warren is not an authority in the first place.

You could still argue that she is correct; but (assuming BurningFrog's judgements on her qualifications), that arguement must be on the merits of her arguements, not her qualifications.

She is qualified to speak on the matter. not as a credentialed economist, but as a legal scholar and a legislator.
