Thoughts on an optional "implies" relation for ideas? I find myself commenting on one idea something which it implies, then criticizing that, but the original idea is not marked criticized. Being able to chain or bundle ideas avoids the bookkeeping issue of having to make new criticisms for each step in the chain, if one is criticized.

An ‘implies’ relation would build the implication into the site’s structure, where nobody could criticize it. But whether A implies B should be open to criticism like any other claim. Instead, criticize A directly: ‘A implies B, and C refutes B.’ That criticism stays pending until someone disputes the implication or answers C.
