In mathematics, you don’t understand things. You just get used to them
If even von Neumann believed that he didn’t truly understand mathematics, then perhaps no one really does.
The world operates not through perfect understanding, but through functional familiarity and this applies even to mathematics, a field rooted in pure abstraction. When you feel you truly understand something deeply (Dunning Kruger effect), it might actually be closer to a form of local causality.
