Re: Circular Reasoning
Can I take a statement from vol a of the encyclopedia Britannia and prove something said in vol c of the same encyclopedia?
No. That would be at best an argument from authority. The studies that support scientific information aren't read somewhere but observed or inferred from observations. A scientific text is never the source of the evidence for the science.

It's not the man that knows the most that has the most to say.
