AUTHORSHIP IS DIFFERENT FROM AUTHORITY!

Even if people author things,that is, claim copyrights and the like, they do NOT always possess, or even if they claim they do, AUTHORITY for what they have written! AUTHORITY of and for writings is not the same as AUTHORSHIP! Thus, you can be an authority without having written a thing! Even if you have written on a subject, you may not be an actual authority. Yet, if you find writings, such as these blogs, authoritative in tone, scope, nature, theme, thesis, and subject, then who is the author? If you make any of these ideas your own, under the best possible circumstances are you an authority and are you, thereby, authorized to author them?
