–“You have to make babies at 18-25 because that’s what exponentially grows the proportion of your descendants in the next generation. It has nothing to do with “fertility.”–Jean-François Gariépy (@JFGariepy)

Geoffrey, (all); I think you’re moving the goalpost of the original intent of the authors of he fallacy. The question is whether the person using the appeal is providing a suggestion that should be considered, or whether that person is claiming such an appeal provides decidability (must). If the latter it’s an appeal to authority.
That said your disambiguation of expertise from authority is excellent.
This category of question is common in philosophy, with the most famous being ‘free will’, whose authors were demonstrating that humans have the agency to take responsibility for the morality of their words and deeds.
It says nothing about the limits of human cognitive agency.
Cheers. 😉

@Plinz, poetically stated, and I would have used ‘decidability’ instead of ‘consensus’ to avoid anthropomorphism of competing networks, but yes, ‘consensus’ would frame it with explanatory power.
