I don't see it as "whining" as much as a reminder of the "what we see is all there is" bias. We may never know what's being hidden from us, but it's worth remembering that we can be near-certain of the existence of unknown-unknowns. The point is that all of this may be the tip of the iceberg. It's intellectually interesting to think about, with potentially grave consequences for day-to-day life.
