Appeals to authority may work on the audiences you preach to but not with me. Heck, there are even some A'gon regulars who've tried that approach and it didn't work then, either. Some even have better credentials than you and lost the argument.
That, and you seem to be one who likes to dish it out but can't take it. That doesn't fly so well here as well. And, confirmation bias is nothing new to bandy about like you're some kind of authority on the subject. It works both ways and applies to your perceptions as well. Ever tried some introspection?
All the best,
