I think the concept is correlated to the observation that, as David Deutsch would say, a good explanation is one which is hard to change. This means that we only have a good theory of how something works on our hands whenever we cannot come up with an alternative theory with the same or greater explanatory power for the same set of problems we're trying to solve.
