    What factual example are you referring to aside from the ones I directly referenced in my argument.

    So explain it. You’re the intellectual authority on the matter, now exert this authority without violence. Go on, I’ll wait.

      You’ve deferred to me as the authority on this matter. I’m correct without the need to use force.

      Examples such as being an intellectual or moral authority don’t rely on force. I’ll defer to the intellectual authority that is the Oxford English Dictionary on this one, and point out you’re definitionally wrong.

      In either instance, these authorities aren’t maintained by force, only the fact that people view them as the authority. Denying said authority isn’t going to see the dictionary police come and drag you away - people will just think you’re kinda dumb.

        I say you’re wrong and assert I am the intellectual authority.

        It’s king of the hill, time to shove me off homie.

          You already crowned me king of the hill when you declared me the intellectual authority.

          If you want to walk that back because you don’t like it, feel free, but you’ll do nothing more than make yourself look silly and inconsistent - not correct.

          I’m not one for monarchs, but it’s good to be the king.

            Sure did, now use your authority to hold that position.

            It’s clearly an example you dolt.

            King stupid is still king I suppose.

              No need for me to reestablish what you’ve already conceded.

              Are you sure you’re OK after all that violence I inflicted on you?

                So you’re not the intellectual authority because I say you’re wrong and I am in fact the authority. Prove me wrong and moreover order me to do legit any fucking thing.
