" C. S. Lewis pointed out that if you see through everything, you eventually see nothing. You cannot go on “explaining away” forever: you will find that you have explained explanation itself away. You cannot go on “seeing through” things for ever. The whole point of seeing through something is to see something through it. . . . If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To “see through” all things is the same as not to see. "
