I think this assumed dichotomy of material/mechanical vs non- is itself a cached thought. I do assume everything can be explained; but whatever mechanism of explanation I use can, if you feel like it, be called "material" or "mechanical"... therefore what you really mean to say is 'another example of a false idea is that everything can be explained'.
