Not necessarily; one need not make independent claims about plausibility of an assumption in order to construct powerful logical arguments around it. What's a "powerful" logical argument? I remember when GPT-2 first came out, OpenAI published an article it generated about the history of unicorns in Peru. Facile text was quite readable and apparently well written. That it's common knowledge that unicorns do not exist left the entire construct lacking believability. Perhaps this "journal of controversial ideas" could publish an endless stream of automatically generated texts involving logical deductions based on arbitrary, implausible assumptions. scientific arguments must also adhere to the rules of deductive logic This statements sounds like it was written by someone with no experience reading actual scientific papers. Most papers from most fields use plausible arguments drawn from statistics and tradition.
