We have quantum mechanics, a model of the universe that makes predictions with absurd levels of accuracy. Yet we don’t really understand “why” it works—-I don’t think we can claim that we really “understand” the universe.
This disproves the claim that making accurate predictions implies understanding. Or perhaps a better way to put it is that the model has some understanding but a model doesn’t necessarily reflect underlying truth.
