That's not what I think Moose claiming. I paraphrase his answer as, "If you insist on a simplified explanation for how the Apollo CM was cooled, then the simple answer is 'by radiation.'" I don't see anything that implies Moose believes such an answer would be complete. The error here is yours in insisting that only vague, simple explanations are allowed. Moose was simply giving the answer that fit your artificial restrictions.
You read me like an open book, Jay. Your paraphrase hits the gist as well as the nuances of what I attempted to convey. Nobody speaks for me*, but in this instance, you may as well have.
