First approximations are probably good enough for anything the likes of us are likely to encounter! After all, aren't we practical, hands-on (down to earth) types who fix things with screwdrivers and the like? Anything beyond that is best left to the boffins I reckon.
I remember once giving a talk on "How X-Rays Are Produced" to a bunch of squaddies. A complete waste of time for all concerned!
