Question

How can you tell if a Web site is credible? It has a trademark (™). You can contact the webmaster. Your teacher says it is. You can double-check the author's authority.

Answer 1

You can double check the author's authority.

Answer 2

You can double-check the author's authority.

Step-by-step explanation:

Although the appeal to an authority is still a fallacy nonetheless, it is still better to have an authority to grant some level of credibility to a website than having just someone telling you that "it is trustworthy". A trademark or a way to contact the webmaster proves nothing at all. A random recommendation doesn't either, so at least a degree or some confirmation of involvement with a theme might help.
