That's a fascinating point. Knowledge of how something behaves in a specific context doesn't necessarily tell you how that thing will behave in another context (with a multitude of uncontrolled variables). The need to control everything so that there is a single variable has always been the scientific method's great weakness, because the world outside the laboratory isn't like that.
