Yes, and one should be very wary of someone who speaks in absolutes.

That said, there IS a valid point to be made to highlight the inordinate success of modern physical theories. It's annoying when the only physics news is sensationalist psuedo-science "heresy" from those who don't even know what they're rebelling against. Sean Carrol does a great job of making this argument in an hour-long video "Quantum Field Theory and the Limits of Knowledge - Sean Carroll - 12/7/22": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REITVohWOO0

He makes a much more precise, and I think powerful, argument that we actually know quite a lot.
