Overselling myself?

[elfs]

Is it overselling myself to tell the customer service drone, "Look, when a guy who helped write the Linux kernel can't figure out what's wrong with his Linux-based Android phone, something is wrong with the phone?"

I mean, in the very long list of Linux contributors, my contribution is five lines of support code for the joystick driver, lines I know aren't in the Android phone (because there's no "Microsoft Sidewinder Flight Joystick gameport version without Force Feedback" for it) But that counts, doesn't it?

Saying "I have thus-and-such qualification, therefore I'm right" is classic argument from authority.
