In my experience doing 3D image reconstruction from 1D and 2D sensors, there are often situations where the engineers can only explain what's going on using math equations - and not in any other qualitative kind of way. For some people, this might be considered not "completely understanding" something.

I submit I know of no one who can honestly and verifiably say they understand quantum spin without equations either. It just falls out of the math that way and is highly verifiable by experiment.

Can't you at least explain the fundamental need for quantum spin (the why) out of symmetry principles of the universe?

But nothing in neural nets "falls out" of some underlying natural/physical equations. It is entirely human-constructed engineering.
