An appeal to authority is not always fallacious. If you say God does not exist because Einstein says so that would be an appeal to authority because Einstein is not a theologian but is in a position of authority. But if you use someone in a position of authority that is relevant to the dialect such as scholars or experts in their field, it is not fallacious.

Well how can you counter someone saying “just because someone says it’s true doesn’t mean it is” to you citing a scientist or (example) an official document of political agreements

I find that the equivocation fallacy happens a lot and people rarely pick up on it.

ㅤ :
appeal to authority is when the said authority is not qualified to speak on the matter. Saying something like “My doctor recommends tylenol so it isn’t harmful.” is not fallacious

presentism fallacy is also important, whe you use present time's standards and apply to something that took place a while ago when standards when different

isn’t every normative claim that intends to be true fallacious since morals cannot be treated as facts and they couldn’t be “proven” no matter what?

I believe your example constitutes an appeal to irrelevant authority. Appeal to authority = support from expert consensus & ideally empirical data

Remember the deference between citing sources and the appeal to authority fallacy!

so in the third argument you think we just shouldn’t use any outside accredited sources? (my first strawman i’m kind of nervous)

don't forget red herrings. Not really a fallacy but it's a tactic.
