>You know that claiming to be a professional violinist is an appeal to authority rather than a logical argument, right?

Am I on reddit or something? You know that starting a statement with "you know that..." sounds pretentious as fuck, right?

So you don't think that I, a lousy trumpet player who hasn't picked up an instrument in almost a decade, have reason to give a professional violinist the benefit of the doubt when she said she could pick out the Stradivarius?
