Yes, but that is understood. Should we stop attempting to apply models to reality (in the form of hypotheses and theories) because we don't know everything? We'll never know everything.
Other forms of human thought (like, oh... religious thought, for example) boldly jump into the middle of the unknown and
refuse to change models when one is shown to be proposterous.
All of science is a work in progress, but that flawed work has achieved some respectable results for humanity. If you want to ignore science until we know everything, then try avoiding the use of any technology that stems from a theory that may not be the final word.
