I looked at the rhetorical fallacy for false authority. There have been many articles or information given to the world that are not credible due to the author having a lack of authority. Many people would get tricked by an author's credibility because the author seems to have a well developed knowledge of the subject or is a leading figure in some other field of knowledge. I probably have been fooled by a few of these articles without even knowing it since the articles are quite frequent. The way I plan to solve this fallacy is before using resources on papers or anything else, I plan to view the author's background information. This way I can truly know if the pieces of evidence I use in research analysis are credible.
