First cause arguments insist that our everyday notions of cause, effect and beginnings apply to absolutely everything and in all conditions. (Except for the very special exception which it attempts to define into existence, of course.)
Insist all day long. Without evidence, you cannot be sure that you're not oversimplifying and producing conclusions that don't translate well, or at all, back to reality. This is the danger of philosophical arguments on their own.
