Maybe it's because in most people's experience, simply pumping vast amounts of raw energy into a system tending toward disorder does not generally cause that system suddenly to start tending towards greater order, even if it does make the thermal equations work.

Answered your own question, huh?

If you look really carefully, study very hard, and concentrate... you'll notice I never asked a question!!! I was answering one.

If you have a coherent contribution to make, go ahead with it.

Someone made some derisive comment about why people weren't completely satisfied that the entropy problem was solved by throwing the sun into the mix. I observed that the addition of raw energy to a system tending towards disorder results in more disorder, not less, in most people's experience.

Hence they could be forgiven for not finding that to be a sufficient explanation in and of itself, in my opinion.
