It is a bit different, though, than a true appeal to authority, since there is such a massive gap in available, public information. In this case, Sutter does, in fact, have access to information that the rest of us can only guess at. It would be a much more valid argument if we all knew what was going on, and you still had posters claiming that the coach knows best. But that is not what is happening. Instead, you have posters saying, "We don't know what is going on, but given how Valimaki has played this season it seems likely that Sutter sees things we do not that legitimately contribute to this decision. With how the team is performing it is easy to give him the benefit of the doubt."
