Not strictly true. If you use a GPS, you are relying on someone
applying General Relativity Theory to the clocks in the satellites going
round the world.
And the digital sensors in our cameras are based on our current
scientific models of the universe. All such models can change or be
improved, but surely it is unwise to assume the current scientific best
guess must be wrong merely because we do not like the consequences it
predicts.
