It certainly applies to the post about the solution to DA.

I don't recall saying a single word about acausality. I put forward my logic.

A smart evolutionary biologist won't draw a blank when you ask him the question. He will tell you that the sun provides earth with entropy that allows life to blossom.

Sure, but I don't claim to be an expert in anything. I just had an idea that seemed sound.

You didn't list all the assumption you make. You didn't explain a causal chain of how what you are proposing will lead to the effects that you desire.

If you would have the post would be longer than a paragraph as any LW post introducing a substantial new concept is.

I just had an idea that seemed sound.

You expressed an idea and the idea felt sound for you but you didn't go into a deep argument for it.
