If one makes an appeal to their own authority, self-granted and thus unquestionable, one need not support anything they say with statistics as we do, even though the root of the fallacious appeal to authority is that no one else can discuss statistics.

I'm starting to think this statistical basis that objectively and conclusively proves Spahn is "above average at best" because he played in the old days and his exact contemporary Koufax is the GOAT, is a complete fiction. Maybe I'm a bit of a cynic, but not a single shred of evidence has been produced to support this stunning claim to total authority. I'd love for it to check out so we can immediately resolve all baseball discussions with this new oracle.
