Detection signals
- Argument rests on title/institution instead of evidence.
- Repeated deference markers without factual substantiation.
- Counterarguments rejected because they are "less authoritative".
Authority bias
Claims are accepted primarily because they come from an authority figure.
Source status substitutes for argument quality: authority endorsement is treated as sufficient proof, while independent evidence is weak or missing.
Caution notes
- Expert consensus can be valid; detect misuse, not expertise itself.
- Check whether authority claims are accompanied by verifiable evidence.
