Yes,

Beefman's argument is of the "who you gonna believe me or your own eyes" variety supplemented by an appeal to authority via some link. It's not just an argument I disagree with but an unfortunate style of argument.

Some link? It's a link to something else I wrote in this thread. I thought linking preferable to copy-and-paste.
