My favorite thing about ignorant grad students is their shameless use of Appeal from Authority fallacies as excuses to hide their ignorance. Own a college student on a factual – or even intellectual/argumentative basis – and enjoy the stupidity in their response that they obviously know what theyre talking about because they’re currently taking a class (or did previously) on the subject matter. Well gosh! In THAT case… lol.
It’s funny cuz of the irony in the argument that their knowledge is superior, while lacking the knowledge that what they’re saying is a statistical syllogism.
