magister dixit 9
It is a Latin expression that literally translates to "the teacher has said it", and is used to express an argument of authority, something that purports to be valid without proof, just because it was mentioned by someone who is considered a connoisseur in the matter. It has a rather ironic sense and in the Middle Ages it was commonly used to quote Aristotle. See argumentum ad verecundiam.
