Since I'm just in the mood of appealing to authorities, let me 
cite Wikipedia:

The argument from authority (Latin: argumentum ad verecundiam) 
also appeal to authority, is a common argument form which can be 
fallacious, *such as when an authority is cited on a topic 
outside their area of expertise, when the authority cited is not 
a true expert or if the cited authority is stating a contentious 
or controversial position.*
