Or we understand just enough to make things and instruments that only work on (and up to) the layer that we understand.

Ancient humans could build boats 5000 years ago and expand throughout the planet, but they didn't know about water being made up of hydrogen+oxygen, or the tides being caused by the moon, etc.

Their calculations served them on the layer they operated on.
