Yes. One of my pet peeves is when I read articles that say “but now we know…” I mean progress is good, but we always think we know everything when something new is figured out. Seems like it’s never the case - there is always more we don’t know that we’ll still discover.

You could move into this story, like you'd move into an apartment, and never leave.
