People do this to win arguments by feigning association or experience

But how? I wouldn't believe you are a Vietnam vet or a nurse just because you said it on Saidit or posted a story. And I don't need your comment history to disbelieve you. I just don't see how you can win an argument by saying "I'm an expert, I win". Okay and I'm a pope, I can't be wrong. Why would you need to disprove completely empty appeal to nonexistent authority by perusing someone's comment history for contradictions?
