Not sure what you mean by that claim. We have classical physics pretty well understood. You _could_ claim that relativistic, quantum, or chaotic effects will cause deviations in actual behavior from predicted. But that doesn't make the effect poorly or incompletely understood. It just means that in the real world you have to include additional terms to your equations to account for other effects like friction etc.

So while we might not be able fully describe a system to the position and velocity of the last atom, we can describe the macro effect with certainty. There aren't going to be terms in the operation of a gyroscope that we don't already know unless you are doing something like operating it at the event horizon of a black hole.
