> Physicists believe they understand quite well how the universe works on large scales Why would a physicist write an article and talk about physicists like they were some mystical "other" single minded group of people. I just hate that characterization, so unhelpful and damaging in my opinion, and kind of manipulative to open up an article with that. I don't actually believe most physicist believe they understand how the universe works, I think most of them feel like there's still so much they don't understand, that it's probably why they wanted to become a physicist in the first place. But I might also be wrong, and in any case, you just shouldn't start your article with a big fallacious generalization that has no data or rationale to back itself up and also somehow position yourself as some sort of "knows better".
