      This is a bit mangled but I guess you’re saying, “I don’t just believe authority, I’m an independent thinker”. But where did you get your opinions from? Did you do the research yourself - including the hard science that you (or I) know almost nothing about in detail? Of course you didn’t. Ultimately you just believed someone. The point of “authority” is it means we’re not just believing anyone.
