Does the rabbi think my claim is historically correct?

I have an interesting solution to the problem of the House of Yosef. The House of Yosef asks: "Why do we celebrate Hanukkah for 8 days? If the oil was enough for 1 day, that means it burned naturally for 1 day, and then the miracle was only for 7 days, and therefore we must celebrate 7 days." (Rishoni like the Rosh and the Meiri asked this before him, but it seems he didn't have it.)
Countless excuses have been given for this question, but I have put forward a historical hypothesis that I think solves the problem, but I am not sure it is accurate. I would love to hear your opinion:
"It seems to me, without in-depth research, that the question of Beit Yosef points to a deep gap in perspective between the perception of reality during the time of the Sages and that of the Rishonim, and especially Rabbi Yosef Karo. It is not at all clear that the concept of "the way of nature" was clear and understandable to the Sages; for them, all of reality was one continuous miracle. From this view emerged blessings such as "He who brings forth bread from the earth" and "He who creates the fruit of the tree," which attribute natural and human actions to God. In contrast, the view of the Rishonim and Rabbi Yosef Karo is based on the philosophy and natural sciences of the Greeks and their successors, according to which there are laws of nature that are disconnected from divine intervention, and any such intervention is considered a deviation from the way of nature. Therefore, it seems to me that the difficulty stems from the gaps between the two views, but this issue requires more in-depth and careful research."

Very unlikely. According to this, we were supposed to say a blessing for everything that happened. For a tree growing in the yard, for the sun rising, for a neighbor's good morning blessing, and so on. The installation of Hanukkah candles was miraculously fixed.
