Guys? Is there a proper term for that kind of fallacy? A sort of "look it up" fallacy? I've been wondering that for a while. Where someone can't actually prove what they're saying is true, so they request the opponent to look it up instead, as if to prove their argument correct purely because "Oh, you don't know? How sad. Read up and then come back later when you're as well-learned as I am"
Ipse dixit?
Oh, maybe... I saw that, but I wasn't entirely certain what I was reading. I think I was really damn tired at the time.

I notice you didn't post the mathematical formula.
