Arguing that it’s informal logical fallacy is intentionally misleading.
Formally, perhaps, sure. I may have phrased that poorly. Let’s call it attempting to shut down discussion by appealing to academic credentials instead… had you appealed to the actual research backing the claim, I wouldn’t have had an issue with that.

Well done Sherlock! And how useful all of this could have been if in fact we did not know the argument, but fortunately, both OPs claim and the claim of the authors are out in the open here.
…And OP’s claims have nothing backing them up other than their say-so. Hence the reason that they can’t be taken seriously. The authors of the paper, however, have shown their work, and their work has been checked by peers. OP has done nothing to demonstrated that they have any expertise that would make them capable of forming a critique of the paper, aside from saying “nuh uh!”.
