As an example, when you can do some calculations that, by current theory involve some uncomputable notions like infinity, it's not because knowing some magical truth allowed for impossible to happen, but because it's a non-contradictory explanation in some sense.
Think of Santa Claus or the tooth fairy. It's not because it's a plausible model, that suddenly the gifts and the money have become magical, or that they will disappear were the truth to be found out. Yet for a child it's a plausible explanation, one that doesn't contradict his reality, in addition the results speak for themselves. Oh the tears there will be, if the child builds too much on such shaky foundations, and vehemently attaches himself to the theory. But it need not be that way, does it?
