No, on the contrary!
It's a packers vs. mappers question.
The packers collect stamps, and when asked whether the pen falls on the Moon, get out the stamp that says that pens don't fall in space.
The mappers will apply the physics model, the formula, and come out with the right answer (or approximation) corresponding to the right situation.
That's a big problem with packers: you teach them stuff, but they retain only half of it, forgetting the applicability conditions.
"Nothing can go faster than light!" Only material stuff, and only in the vacuum. But there are mediums where light will go slower than a walking human. "There's no perpetual motion machine!" Right, only when you consider a CLOSED system. There's no physical entity smaller than the Universe that's a closed system. Even black holes have inputs AND outputs! And so on.
