   As ridiculous as it sounds on the face of it, the claim that being an author of published books lends some automatic credibility to a person becomes even more ridiculous when one actually stops to look at it more closely. The same thing goes for the idea that being a graduate student, or having a PhD, or being a professional academic, in any way means that what you say should be accepted just because, well, just because. And in the abstract, everyone accepts this on principle. But as soon as their favorite author or scholar is criticized, people suddenly feel affronted and things start looking very differently.
