Exactly my point!
You can't get caught up in the why, because at our current understanding, there is no why.
There only is.
Magnetism was my introduction to giving up the "need to know why".
Why does one pole attract another? It just does.
It just does.
Move on.
Fucking magnets.
oh man if I ever met a magnet in a dark alley

Sorry, I see how my post could have read. I was agreeing with you. I just wanted to add on because I think it's so cool that the only thing we've ever really been able to do with all our scientific progress and applied science is establish that when we see one thing happening we can be pretty sure that it usually leads to this other thing and we don't really know why.
I didn't take it as contradictory at all!
I was simply acknowledging that you understood my point and put a footnote period to the thought.
