Actually, at least IMHO, there are a minimum of 4 sources of

besides power and love, also market advantage ( who gives you

Robert Theobald's
coinage, to stand for the leadership of "knowers," viz,
professionals like scientists,
doctors, professors, and so forth. Granted no-one has pure motives,
no-one,
we all fall short of the glory of God, but as a general principle.
That may be one of the ways we differ. I see market advantage as
related to power, and sapiental authority only valid if it reflects
people who love the subject more than I do -- not just because they
have more information about it.
I also find it amusing that you add a completely different category to
justify your Pluto claim. :-)
Established and useful tradition.
Which still begs the question "useful to whom" -- and who gets to
decide how useful?
