Well they did demonstrate that in a non trivial system of axioms, there will always be true statements that are unprovable. Do they kinda accepted that they will never be able to find everything. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del%27s_incompleteness_theorems

Well, either they can't find everything in that system, or they can also find something that contradicts something else that's true.

It balances out, because while there's infinite facts they can't prove, there's also infinite lies they can prove.
