Never works. If you say X and I say Y.
Then you say, D is an authority and says X.
Then I say, C is a higher authority and says Y.
Then you say B is the highest authority and says X.
Then I say, A, to me, is the highest authority, who says not only X,
but also, that B is a moron.
It never ends... ;-)
