And interestingly enough, that very point refutes this as a legitimate
appeal to authority: "The argument must be valid in its own right i.e.
without needing to appeal to authority at all."
Hah! You are trying to win an argument by appealing to the authority of
Wikipedia, with something inserted a few days ago which doesn't look very
reliable to me (author can't do "its" and "it's", bad sign, as
well as this
being point six out of five). I hope at least it wasn't inserted by you.
