To be clearer about my other reply -
Flaw 1 is the essential core flaw, because even you were using some information I don't have to make an appeal to authority, the appeal to authority would still be a logical fallacy that basically changes the subject while only pretending to address what I said.
Flaw 2 is only a side point, because even if you're into appeals to authority, your question isn't actually hinting at any information I'm missing, it's only hinting at your own self ignoring basic knowledge.
