Could you rephrase that question?  The way it's worded at the moment is like going to a restaurant, ordering some food,
having the plate of food put in front of you, trying to eat the food and getting nothing but air, and then having the
waiter say, "What makes you think there would be actual substance?"

I am reminded of the quote by Edsger W. Dijkstra:

  Simplicity and elegance are unpopular because they require
  hard work and discipline to achieve and education to be
  appreciated.
