This particular type of fallback-prediction is a common one in general: we have some theory which makes predictions, but “there’s a phenomenon which breaks one of the modelling assumption in a way noncentral to the main theory” is a major way the predictions can fail.
That’s a great way of framing it! And a great way of thinking about why these are not failures that are “worrysome” at first/in most cases.
