I’m not appealing to my authority. I’m appealing to the authority of scientific literature

Yes. I know. That's my point. This is what that looks like:

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/1041794X.2020.1764613

That source you linked isn't publicly accessible. You are supporting your perspective and this particular point, with a source I can't even read. That is the authority I'm supposed to respect? We're not even getting into the validity of the actual point!

A system that behaves this way, can't be interacted with. And not because I don't want to and not necessarily because I'm incapable of doing it (illiterate, don't read), we won't find that out in this case.

And then there is this professor who keeps wondering what's wrong and "no of course he's not sharing his slides".
