TBF, that's actually a pretty profound insight.
Most, if not all, of us take certain concepts for granted until someone points out that it's more complex than we realise. Examples like Dark Energy & Matter, entropy, the placebo effect, the nature of mathematical objects, etc. are proof of this.
we also live in a world which has now known that premise and used it for 300 years, which makes it seem much more trivial than it was at the time.
