Argumentum ad "ea quae parent" (1 Sam 16:7)

     Appeal to "those things that appear" (1 Sam 16:7 Douay-Rheims).  I.e. appeal to "the outward appearance" (RSV) of a man, or argument from "outward appearance" (argumentum ab eis quae parent).  As in (of Cardinal Raymond Burke on the dubia), "I'm sorry, but how can you take someone seriously who adorns himself like that?"
