"Argumentum ad verecundiam" translates to "argument from authority" in sounding-smart-speak (saving effort of googling for those who come after me)
And he doesn't appeal to authority, he's correctly addressing the points made by the theoretical opponent: "you just made that up..." and "that's just your opinion..."
What is his d/acc philosophy in any short summary? What does he propose as guiding principles?
How can people unite behind a manifesto 10k words long, waxing poetic about a seemingly random assortment of someone's beliefs?
Can a few people try to summarize their understanding of "d/acc" into a paragraph, without reading other summaries first, to see if everybody but me got a sense of cohesive general idea from it?
