If I may so bold as to propose a compromise, why not incorporate a notes system? For those that don't know, by giving a reference tag a note class, you can create a separate type of reference that would appear in a different list. In the main text this appears as a reference would, but instead of just a number, it would say [note 1]. By placing them at the end of a statement based on our own conclusions, we can then direct readers to the corresponding note that has an explanation. Basically, everything in the main body of the page would remain written as is, but with the note tag at the end. Somewhere at the end of the page (either just above or just below the references section) would be the notes themselves. So, if we have a line where we say "X is an advanced nature technique [note 1]" the reader can look at the note and see the explanation of "Although never stated to be an advanced nature, it can be inferred that X falls into this category due to blah blah blah".

That way we keep using our have our discussions and use our brains to draw logical connections where they are not outright stated, but also tell readers where this has been done.
