This reasoning will dismiss too many things.
We don't know the physics of almost anything, it's all progressive levels of approximation.
For the longest time we knew nothing about the physical mechanisms of anesthetics, or how a plane wing works.
Science doesn't need the mechanism. It needs predictive power.
Observations, hypotheses, tests and thesis.
