The argument here suffers from the logical fallacy "an appeal to authority".

Personally, I prefer to listen to every argument and make up my own mind based on
my experience.

One who sets him/herself up as an "authority" on any subject needs to be mercilessly
dissected and if pedantic or rigid, rejected.

What some call ignorance, as I have found out, is in the brain of the beholder.

Beware of "authority" and "dogma".
