Problem is, Steve, if you don't keep questioning those principles, no matter how fundamental they are, you're in danger of stopping learning and acquiring knowledge. You may turn out to be wrong in the long run, but science is about questioning. Remember, Newton's laws were fundamental for a very long time, but Einstein and others came along and modified them because they ultimately were incomplete in their explanations of the nature of reality (whatever reality really is, if it even is "real").
