This is just how science works: we find evidence for some things, and we don't have evidence for others, so the things we can explain is limited to what we can back up. For example, we don't know why people yawn but that doesn't mean that we can't explain in detail how sedatives work.

But we also can’t explain in detail how sedatives work... We have no idea whatsoever how most classes of sleeping meds function.

We have a fairly good idea how most sedatives work and which receptors they bind to. But even when we don't, I am not sure what your point is: even when we know some things there are still things we can't explain yet…which was basically what I said?
