I hope so. I've always thought the quintessence of science is pushing back the boundaries of ignorance. To advance we must first understand the true outline of our incomprehension. In that light, I don't think Feynman's remark is a negative sentiment at all.

To know what what you do not know, etc. (c.f. confucious 2:17, rumsfeld 2:02)

I didn't mean it in a negative way either

I always seek clarity, and quite often 'complex' science is just about that, you get to see differently, eurekas. And when there's no eureka, to me then something is wrong, and the science has been accepted at face value which is also wrong.
