No, entirely illegitimate. *Credibility only matters when
facts are being reported, and ideally not even then since
scientific facts must be replicatable to be worth anything.

I, you and everyone else is engaged in interpretation,
a form of argumentation which is supported or falls on
the rules of logic you have previously disdained.

You didn't offer facts, my tiresome interlocutor. You offered an
opinion. When you offer an opinion, your credibility on the subject
addressed matters. On the subject on which you offered an opinion,
you have no credibility.

Rhetoric is rhetoric and logic is logic and never the twain shall
meet.

No, I presented an argument. My personal opinions are usually
unstated, and no-one should assume that I like any of the
arguments I present. I merely find them worthy of consideration.

When you offer an opinion, your credibility on the subject
addressed matters.

Only if unsupported by argument. Unlike you, I do not ask people
to believe my conclusions. I ask they consider my arguments.

Rhetoric is rhetoric and logic is logic and
never the twain shall meet.

You want tiresome, you got it: Logic is part of rhetoric.
So are less reliable devices based on ethos and pathos.
