Authority

"So the main issue here may not be mindless obedience so much as the willingness to assume authority figures—that is to say, people we think of as experts—know what's best. If that's the lesson here, then it's imperative to figure out who, exactly, we perceive as an authority, and how they achieve that status."

There are legitimate experts and then there are pretenders.  It is important to know the difference.  An argument from authority isn't necessarily a logical fallacy.
