That is an understandable stance but there are other people that see that the main role of science is to produce technologies. In this kind of view if you have a reproducible capacity it is ok to be hazy why exactly does it work. Some “clients” might care about worldview implications but other types of “clients” might not (war machine). It might be a word-semantics matching game but for some people “world appriciation” is a philosophy activty and not a science activity. Sure ontology might be a regular customer of physics, but physics is going to leave the ontology questions to ontology.
I ended up deciding to cut a line of reasoing pertaining how knowledge-pessimistic bread-greedy person might engage in activity that looks like science but doesn’t employ knowledge. Express interest if you wish for me to elaborate.
The function of science is to output knowledge about the world, so just giving up on that to simplify things isn’t really an option.
