such posts are generally not banned to my knowledge but, ah, won’t have positive score unless you can describe mechanistically why a lot of hyperskeptical people should be convinced you’re definitely right. Can you demonstrate a bound on the possible behaviors of a system, the way I can demonstrate a bound on the possible behaviors of a safe rust program?
I don’t think it’s quite that; a more central example I think would be something like a post about extrapolating demographic trends to 2070 under the UN’s assumptions, where then justifying whether or not 2070 is a real year is kind of a different field.
