Indeed, without that elegance we'd be hard pressed to understand the physical Creation at all.

Indeed. As Murray Gell-Mann (PhD from MIT in theoretical physics at age 22 or so, Nobel Prize in physics in 1969) wrote:

What is especially striking and remarkable is that in fundamental physics a beautiful or elegant theory is more likely to be right than a theory that is inelegant."

Cheers!
