Understanding how things actually work! And, yes we should all stop arguing
The problem starts right there, with the meaning of the word understanding.
You say we're far from actual understanding, but how can you know? Do you mean absolute knowledge? Than please define absolute knowledge and provide a means to test how fr we are from it.
I can tell you something about how the sun 'works' but why would you call it understanding, no matter what's the detail I provide. One can always reason there is another reality under the reality we think we understand (hell, there's probably litte green chipmunks getting all those fundamental particles to work). Anyway, for me understanding has to do with rules, consistency, patterns and verification of all the steps involved. Understanding is like a intricate web of interwoven falsifiable statements, not like a postulate hanging freely in mid air, a skyhook. IOW you haven't defined actual understanding at all.
BTW, I like the "aka Scotty" thing.
