Your audio-specific examples get my point across better than my more general explanations.There is much evidence - ie. consistent outcomes across a range of applications / subjects / environments - that is not necessarily backed by definitive theories. A little research into the mechanisms of action for drug / phyto / nutrition therapies will soon indicate this.
Yes, a plausible or accurate explanation of a mechanism of action is hugely beneficial to improve our understanding and therefore application and further development, but perhaps the most important (or only) 'evidence' are the results of practical application. Perhaps there is some Zen in science.
