Part of why I sought out the videos above to try to see how accurate your assertion is. While a number of the steps are proven mathematically, I was still a little surprised to hear the speaker say a couple times something along the lines of "and we know this works because the results we get are good".
I suppose this is pretty common in mathematics - there are a lot of mathematical conjectures that most assume are true, but for which there is no proof.
But there is a big difference between not understanding something, and not being able to understand something. And the only way to know where we lie is in trying.
