I'm often reminded of a cartoon I saw years ago, with a stereotypical Einsteinish physicist standing in front of a chalkboard, looking at this enormously complex formula with a big blank space in the middle of it. Then he gets a "eureka" expression and starts writing in the blank space. Then he steps back, and you can see that he's filled the blank space with "and then something happens".
