How do we know everything about universe with such precision?

Question

I understand that we build models and do calculations but aren’t there any potential errors/assumptions? That accumulate over multiple calculations and grow bigger the further we go back or over distance?
I.e. “At approximately 10−37 seconds into the expansion, a phase transition caused a cosmic inflation, during which the universe grew exponentially, unconstrained by the light speed invariance, and temperatures dropped by a factor of 100,000.”

Very few people that are actually doing the research present their work as fact and they make judicious use of qualifying statements. That’s across most scientific fields.

What scientists can’t control is how third parties in the media present their research.
