While I agree in this case, your criticism as stated is so vague that it could be made of any idea
Yet is wasn’t made of any idea, and if you agree in this case, you deem it appropriate for this case, in which it was made. It is a fairly general principle: don’t try to juggle a thousand angry cats at once, human mind is not that strong.
But if I did not already agree, your comment would not have convinced me.
Right. It wasn’t an argument, it was a concept intended to give clearer structure to your own impression. Epistemic rationality, for example, is targeted at giving you accurate estimates, whatever they are, even though it’s not domain-specific and it doesn’t argue for specific positions on specific questions.

Also fewer function words...

Essentially, I think it would be appropriate if it were actually supported, not just supportable.
