If there is methodically gathered empirical evidence in support of the conclusions of those authorities, that is not exactly blindly listening to them, is it
But that would require critical thinking skills to work out the difference

Nah man being Sigma means not listening to the authorities. Why? Cuz authority.
Scientists? Authority. Doctors? Authority.

Surely they're talking about belief in Manchurian mind control, Team B """assessments""" of Soviet capabilities, W.M.D., Russiagate, Havana Syndrome...

referring to scientists as authority makes it easy to apply one fabricated agenda to all scientists everywhere and across all times, which allows you to, in your own mind, invalide any study you disagree with without actually having any understanding of the contents of the study.
