(This raises some other problems, if things don't need to make sense to be true we can't use thought process as a pathway to truth?, because we sure as hell wouldn't just stumble into the idea things being truth and not truth at the same time without the experiement showing very clearly that was the case)
I think Ape makes a good point. Thought processes can allow us to extract reasonable implications of established fact and scientific process can help us understand more and more empirical states and relationships. So thought processes can help us establish some truth without ever being able to deliver The Truth. Maybe we're neither qualified for nor entitled to such a thing. Maybe no one and nothing has the big truth. Maybe the idea of a big truth is just something we made up. Maybe.
