	The authority in question is not named. This is a type of appeal to authority because when an authority is not named it is impossible to confirm that the authority is an expert. However the fallacy is so common it deserves special mention. A variation on this fallacy is the appeal to rumour. Because the source of a rumour is typically not known, it is not possible to determine whether to believe the rumour. Very often false and harmful rumours are deliberately started n order to discredit an opponent.		Defende-se que são realizadas mais de dois milhões de operações desnecessárias todos os anos.

	~~Proof~~: ~~Argue that because we don~~'~~t know the source of the information we have no way to evaluate the reliability of the information~~. (Davis: 73)		Diz-se que o Primeiro-Ministro irá declarar outro feriado em outubro.

			'''Definição:''' A autoridade citada não é nomeada. Trata-se de um tipo de apelo à autoridade, porque quando a autoridade não é identificada não é possível verificar se se trata realmente de um especialista. Contudo, esta falácia é tão comum que merece menção própria.
			Uma variação desta falácia é o apelo ao rumor: como a origem do rumor normalmente é desconhecida, não é possível determinar se deve ser acreditado. Muitas vezes, rumores falsos e prejudiciais são lançados deliberadamente para desacreditar um oponente.

			'''Prova:''' Argumenta que, como não se conhece a fonte da informação, não há forma de avaliar a fiabilidade dessa mesma informação.

			''(Davis: 73)''
