I found it interesting that ad hominem and argument from authority first entered English with John Locke and were not then regarded as logical fallacies, along with modern notions of facts/news ala "facts are statements of simple ideas expressed in language." When people discuss the news and events like Covid and public policies, are we primarily working out logical syllogisms or are we more like witnesses to a bewildering array of events and interpretations? If the former, then ad hominem has no place, if the latter, then it might. Given the way life works, it would be weird not to use ad hominen and argument from authority analyses in trying to better understand reality. Finally, almost everything we "know" about the world depends upon
referencing authority. I love this Peter Novick passage because it forced me to rethink my assumptions that the only honorable forms of debate are over facts and logic.
