I'm not disagreeing (as you already know since you said "just kidding").
To illustrate this idea with a real-life example, imagine that there is something or someone behind a closed door, and the person or thing is sending you messages from behind the door. You're getting numbers and sentences and you're writing them down. However, do you really need to know what exactly the person or object looks like to understand the messages that you're getting? The answer is no. It could even be a computer talking to you behind the door.
Having said that, know that Allah has 99 names which are describing His attributes, although we still cannot comprehend Him because we cannot understand those attributes (fully) in human terms.
