I think that this is what has been happening first in relativity since 1905.
Henri Poincaré had given the right equations, of great mathematical and physical perfection (mathematics must be applied to physical reality).
We have the right equations, we know that it works, but we do not understand why it works.

about certain aspects of that behaviour.

 

This is actually not true, because the world which SRT describes isn't the world we live in.

 A failed attempt is still an attempt. Therefore your "because" is wrong.
SR is an attempt to describe the world.

The world of gedanken delusions of some
brainwashed morons; with the reality it has
nothing in common.
