I agree with this generally, but I don't think questions like "why are the laws of physics the way they are" are obviously questions for philosophers only and I'm not simply asking "why?"

Only very low-level ontological questions meet this criteria, like "why is there something rather than nothing," but even then, I am open to the possibility that there are reasonable explanations for these things that we just can't articulate yet.
