No. Relying on authority would be to say something
like 'Prof. Bloggs says speciation happens.'
​
What crashfrog is doing is referring to the accumulated,
properly recorded observations of the biological community.
​
When one refers to formalised results one is not relying on
authority ... otherwise no-one could say anything unless they
had seen it in person.

Re: Twice as much
That's why we need to drop this whole 'new information'
thing. It's not useful, and you can generate novel features
just by changing or rearranging existing genes.
​
I think someone else already asked, but what do you mean
by protein family?
