Not exactly. Authority is itself evaluated
with respect to the problem being solved as
part of the argument.
The Wright Bros solved many problems of
building powered gliders, but none regarding
air compressability and flight controls
because those problems didn't occur in
relative low speed flight. Asking for
authoritative guidance requires very explicit
questions and a very thorough knowledge
apriori or test of the authority.
Work out that problem with respect to the
URI (authoritative assertions based on DNS)
and RDF. What will be the problems of
scoping the RDF assertions with regards to
the domain of a subject and the changes in
that subject as its applications become
more advanced or specific? Maintenance?
Given that problem, expert systems never got
beyond being advisors to humans although
at least one of them became a good soup
maker. Competence will be an issue for
Semantic Web applications. Vette the source.
SBIRs, etc. are usually broadcast and the
responses evaluated to create a select
list of qualified candidates. This is where
the web service concept of discovery overlaps
the Semantic Web concepts of authority.

In other words, argument from authority is no argument
at all.
