Here is an analogy for you.

The entire Christian faith is based on the belief of the resurrection
of Christ. The very foundation of the hypothesis known as the general
theory of relativity resides in the covariant derivative. This
mathematical operator was designed by Ricci using how Christoffel
arranged the connection coefficients in the geodesic equations. Is
there more than one way to arrange these coefficients? The
Christoffel symbols of the second kind are not unique. Believe or
not.
