This. I look forward to a future where science is made by machines. What we know so far has the imprint of human values and limitations. I am very suspicious when a theory 'makes too much human sense'. Reality has no obligation whatsoever to be intelligible. What really is, outside from the human mind, has a structure that is unfathomable complex: human knowledge is necessarily a reduced representation of a tiny slice of such underlying reality. And most science is pragmatical science for human purposes, not fundamental work towards the comprehension of the inner workings of reality. This is a task for superior intelligent beings, not for us.
