Congratulations on getting your paper accepted for review!

As for Sam Harris, I do not think I know of a more pompous ass that seems to be dismissive of everyone and anyone who disagrees with him. I think he looks with contempt on people that do not meet his intellectual heights. I sense a HAUGHTY SPRIT when I hear him speak, and I suspect he fancies HIMSELF as the ideal candidate to run THE DEPARTMENT OF TRUTH.

You state Jordan Peterson also feels that some authorities deserve to be granted the right to discern fact from fiction. This surprises me greatly as he has often spoken highly if non academics that actually have a clue as to how things work and how to fix them when they do not. I heard someone state that physics usually sorts out fact from fiction EVENTUALLY. In the meantime lies and tbose who deal in them can do an awful lot of damage.
