Can you give a reason though? I guess a child haven't asked you an endless chain of whys yet. By the end of which you can't say 'why' just that 'that's how it is', you've reached the limit of knowledge.

Of course when available knowledge is preferable.

Epistemologically, "that's how it is" is too declarative for that which we don't know.

Being asked an endless series of questions for me is going to end with "I don't know".
