A Title Doesn't Make Someone Right

A PhD, a corner office, or a million followers can make a weak argument feel convincing. This is authority bias: we defer to credentials, titles, and status instead of evaluating the reasoning itself. Experts are invaluable in their domain, but a title doesn't grant infallibility — and outside their expertise, they're as prone to error as anyone. Listen to the argument, not just the person making it.
The point
Authority bias makes us trust titles over reasoning — evaluate the argument, not the resume.
