Examples
Regardless if the information in the first example is correct or not, critical readers will immediately be turned off by the name of the source. Find a study from a reputable group instead. Even if the information in that study is not as powerful, readers are more likely to trust information from what they perceive to be a more objective source. No group is universally accepted as a definitive source, so consider the cost–benefit ratio of using the findings before you include them.

Though the quote from Nietzche is accurate and correctly attributed, Nietzsche is not regarded as an authority on love. Quoting an inappropriate authority, even correctly, can demean your own cause. The second quote may not regard a subject in which Richard Feynman was considered an expert (politics), but it ties in well with his own field (physics).

Chomsky is an expert in this field, but his name will generate negative connotations in many of your readers.

Though Palin did quit during a series of ethics investigations, it is unclear whether this was her primary motivation for leaving office. The second example hints at the possibility of a correlation, but does not state it directly. Ted Stevens may have been convicted of a felony, but a judge has since overturned his conviction and thus he should not be referred to as a felon. The second example removes this clause entirely.
