We present the severe, systematic uncertainties currently facing our understanding of dust emission, which stymie our ability to truly exploit dust as a tool for studying galaxy evolution. We propose a program of study to tackle these uncertainties, describe the necessary facilities, and discuss the potential science gains that will result. This white paper was submitted to the US National Academies' Astro2020 Decadal Survey on Astronomy and Astrophysics.
