Limiting your acceptable proof to ‘seeing it happen’ is super narrow.
Black holes were theorized well before we saw one, so your argument is specious.

Well, our current physics models aren’t perfect so it’s entirely possible we need to refine them- then who knows what’s possible?

But in 1783 when black holes were theorized, we hadn’t seen one. So, again, your argument is specious.
Plenty of things were theorized before we had any evidence of them. FTL is no different.
