I'm not sure about that statement. For those of us who simply can not understand the very sophisticated, complex, and abstract, information, what choice do we have??? Yes, yes, yes, I abhor argument by authority. But at some point we all must succumb to it from need...we can't all know and understand everything. The really important thing is choosing your "authority" with diligence.
