This is a very neat and tidy, but ultimately wrong synopsis of how science,
or at least physics, has been working for over the last century, during
which time theories have often ventured far beyond what needs to be
explained. Of course they have simultaneously been falling far short of
explaining what needs to be explained, so it's a really complex picture.
