It is a problem with medicine.

Normally, we would not only want a proof that something works but also verifiable explanation of HOW something works.

Medicine is a problem because we don't understand how many of the chemicals work but the problem is so important (and also it is big business) that we just let it pass and we are happy that we can get some results even if we don't completely understand how we get them.
