It isn't a nit pick. The evidence you presented did not prove your case. You offered a non-sequitur. The fact that others came along and proved your case does not change the fact that YOUR evidence wasn't up to the task.
You left the impression that you weren't really concerned about the evidence, you just wanted people to take your word for it. Sloppy is a best case scenario. A worst case scenario is that you were just trying to wave off the issue by asserting an "expert" (argumentum ad vericundiam, who was not an actual expert. You know, pretty much the same stuff you do every time you cite a modern court.
Beyond that, I still haven't heard you describe what characteristic of Governor Sarah Palin, or Senator Ted Cruz, that you admire. Why are you a Palin supporter as opposed to Jeb Bush? What do you like about Palin more than you like about the latest iteration of the Bush Dynasty?
