Indeed it does! But if we lived on the scale of Planck's constant, we wouldn't necessarily understand it better. We'd just have spin as part of our everyday vocabulary and had gotten used to it. And everyone would know, sure, spin, that's when you kick an electron sideways and it does that thing where it does that thing. Been there, done that.
