Credentialism

"Just remember, license never replace eye, ear, or brain."
--Miyagi (The Karate Kid)

A presents an argument to B. Rather than assessing the argument, B responds, "Show me your credentials to demonstrate why I should believe you."

B cannot think for himself. Instead, he relies on experts to do his thinking for him. He has agents that think for him. Thus, B can only judge the validity of an argument by the credentials of the presenter.

Credentialism. Believing that only those with the proper license can think and speak 'correctly.' A sure path to despotism and squalor.
