Perhaps I'm in the lower half but I do not understand what point you're trying to make. Are you saying that as some higher plane of understanding Tao is actually correct? My thinking is that a simple counterexample would be sufficient - i.e. are there medications that people use for which the mechanism is not understood? There are many such examples as others have given in this thread.

Logic would dictate that medicine should be pragmatic and accept working cures that aren't understood.

If people had to understand everything that worked, most people could not really engage with anything.

If the requirement is just that one human, somewhere, understand it--how is that different from AI?
