It would be an appeal to authority only if it was asserted that the conclusion is true because Goodacre accepts it. |

I've been agnostic on the authenticity of Secret Mark. I thought the consensus was still that that it was at least authentically Clement but I'm certainly open to hear an argument for a forgery by Smith and I'm definitely intrigued by Vork's advance praise for SCC's paper. I'm eager to read it.

Smith tried to argue that SecMk influenced the Western text (rather than the other way around), but nobody has ever agreed with him on that. Yuri. |

Here are some interesting exerpts from Morton Smith's doctoral dissertation, Tannaitic Parallels to the Gospels, found in the Journal of Biblical Literature (JBL) 1951 (ie. before the discovery of Secret Mark / bold emphasis in text is my own) compared with Secret Mark:

What kind of motive could Smith have had for forging Secret Mark? If one reads Smith's works, one will find that Smith had a great interest in how scholars reacted to information. He seemed almost obsessed, to me, with how scholars will take new information, absorb it, and make it fit their position. Was Secret Mark meant to test scholars and their conclusions for Smith's own amusement? Quote:
