If I wear a white lab coat, wrap a stethoscope around my neck, wear glasses and then proceed to tell you that this medicine I’m holding in my hand (picture me pointing to a purple pill) will make you sleep, make you lose weight, cure your cholesterol woes, make your penis enlarge, make your penis hard, enlarge your breasts, shrink your butt, give you six pack abs and possibly cure your bouts of depression
Would I be more credible than if I wasn’t wearing a lab coat and stethoscope?
