*Puts mr bucket of water back where they came from* FWIW that's not how you argue, that's just letting all the air out of the balloon. As for your arguments, IMHO humans are fundamentally wanderers, and we stumble on discoveries and accidental solutions to problems as much (if not more often) than we intentionally set out to understand or achieve something. Given the expanse of the brain, the theoretical paradox of a scanner trying to scan itself, and the post-discovery nature of how we structure and organize things, I think we'll only make progress once we fully let go a bit. Not to a stupid extreme, of course - unhinged conspiracy theories are as useless as trying to build load-bearing insights from drug experiences, IMHO - but just scientifically accepting that we'll never truly understand how we tick until we accept the wild nature behind it. We are not nearly there yet. I liked the GP comment.
