Given the quote, and given your interpretation of the quote, it seems that you are feeling instead of thinking (you have no hook there to suggest a conclusion is taken). Look at it rationally and it is just that: "If phenomenon P inclines to non-autonomous than adjutant A suggested". Dirac was hardly a feeler - definitely a thinker.
Doesn't sounds like much of an argument to me.
What it does sound like is someone who has already accepted a conclusion and is grasping for some way, any way to justify it.
