just because something is a good tool, if its meaning or motivation isnt understood, its reasonable to be wary. Yes it provides answers, and solutions, but thats only because we've embedded it into our existing logic structures. like youre talking about serieses and physics well, the function e^z is literally just an extention of the real function based on logical constraints. it conforms to the reals because its made to, but understanding why its a good choice is essential, any arbitrary system can conform to another if you nitpick hard enough
also, if you're using an object as an intermediary step in physics, it needs to represent something, or else youre making a nonphysical claim to support a physical system, throwing the whole thing into doubt, or potentially implying i is somehow physical
