You are responding as though I said something like “physics doesn’t work at all”, when I actually said it works via idealisations and approximations. To talk of Effective Field Theories concedes my point, since EFTs are by definition approximations .
You said “extremely simplified and idealised situations … frictionless planes, free fall in a vacuum, and so on”. That’s a pretty different ballpark than, say, every phenomenon any human before the 1990s had any knowledge of, in more detail than you can see under any microscope (except gravity).
Do you consider everything you’ve experienced in your entire life to have happened in “extremely simplified and idealised situations”?
