Just a little reminder here. In Japan there was a group of otherwise
intelligent people, some graduates of University of Tokyo (the top
university in Japan) who were involved with the imfamous Aum
Church of Supreme Truth (Aum Shinrikyou in Japanese). For those
of you who might not know what that is, it was the cult whose top
members planted the sarin gas in the subway trains.
I am not saying that Dr. Johnson is a Shoko Asahara. However,
arguments from authority and credential are not (in of themselves)
legitimate criteria for establishing "truth".
