: How to describe an explanation that merely justifies the current proposition by reference to another unproven proposition? I'm proposing an explanation for phenomenon "A". Other folks say

I'm proposing an explanation for phenomenon "A". Other folks say "No need! We already have an explanation for phenomenon A, it's a natural consequence of phenomenon B". Problem is, phenomenon B is also unexplained. I want to call this out in a polite but firm way.
I've thought of:

This pushes the question off onto unexplained "B"

This is merely shifting the burden of explanation.

This is probably a logical fallacy with a Name and Employment History, but I can't think what it is. Any thoughts?
Thanks! =)
