The fault is in us. But that fault allows a skeptic the room needed to question things considered "objective truth", as impossible for humans.
What gaps are you talking about? Show how these gaps follow from subjectivity plox?
If the ghost of Emmy Noether visits me in a dream tonight, and she gives me a complete and flawless conception of everything everywhere, that knowledge is also subjective, because it came from another one of my vivid hallucinations. But... with those assumptions from earlier, this knowledge may not have any of those gaps in it...
So there are gaps in our understanding. And our understanding is also subjective. Even if both are true, why does one imply the other?
