10. Its just the "if your firends jumped off a bridge" argument
in disguise. So what if X person said Y? Does that lend some weight to the argument morally or ethically? NO. So if Lincoln said "all people who think stovepipe hats are silly, should be shot, hanged, or possibly spanked." Does that mean we have to listen to him? NO. We weigh the evidence and the moral positions and decide. We are under no obligation to follow or believe Lincoln because...(and this is the crux of the matter by mentioning him at all) well...he is Lincoln.
